    Best mapping card for Upper Bay?

    I'm fishing the IKE tourney in a couple weeks and will be my first trip to the Bay. What map cards are best down there. I like sand but only when I go to the beach!

    I've been using Navionics. It works for navigation, but I think I've proven that the contours out on the flats aren't exactly accurate. Whatever yah git plan on spending some time getting familiar and knowing how to use whatever you buy.

    Thanks - I'm coming down for 3 days before the tourney to do just that. My home water is the tidal Hudson River and I've grown up on tidal water. That said I want to make sure I have the best mapping possible.

    I love the Hudson River. Haven't been there in year. Love tidal water fishing though.

    Yeah its great - can be very tough especially mid summer and has turned into more of a smallmouth fishery over the last 30 years but early and late season its awesome.
