Baltimore canyon coordinates

Somewhere on here there is a thread which shows how to convert GPS coordinates between the various formats. Something else which is invaluable to me is a printed out and laminated NOAA chart which shows contour lines.

Got both canyons marked from the fathom tip to the fathom tip. Nick, thanks for the help. I just added a 0 to the end as my lost digit. The coordinates on that thread seem to be pretty accurate according to my plotter. To convert to degrees minutes. For example 38 degrees 14' 30" converts to 38 degrees Time Off.

Zone A - About 60 nautical miles from the Ocean City inlet to the tip, and around 62 nautical miles from Indian River inlet, Baltimore has several stand-out features.

Instead, they get them un-rigged, and set them up with or pound test instead of the heavier stuff pre-rigs are made with. Zone B - The tip of the canyon allows you to try trolling through constantly rising and falling depths, as you go from one side to the other. Most anglers will zig-zag along one wall or the other, covering waters from 70 fathoms or so to or fathoms. Trolling the walls is a classic technique, and it works.

Zone E - Take particular note of the bulge in the north wall, marked by hotspot E. Yes, it can be quite productive during the day, but night fishermen planning to overnight at the Baltimore in search of tuna fish really need to remember this spot.

For whatever reason, it produces well when a light north-east breeze pushes you slowly from 70 to fathoms. Yellowfin are the norm, but bigeye will pop up here, too.

Zones F and G - The northern and southern bights of the canyon, are naturally places anglers will want to probe. Mixing currents often cause weeds and flotsam to collect here—as well as the fish.
