Zeal Just mark off the tenths from a starting point to a spot. Then how many tenths to the next spot. We would write on the underside of the sun visor and keep it to yer self.
been there ,good luck

Exactly!! Back before GPS in the truck we measured from one hole to the nexted. We had a hole we called 2th Hole because it was 2ths of a mile south of the mission bell.

No spot burn as this was in 94, 95, 96. Hole is long gone or full of seals.

No boat, back in the suds.

I fished it one night with NY Eddie, Lanny G, Tony C, and a few others and it was epic. One of those night you remember forever.

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly are the "tenths"? I get the tenths of a mile but where am I supposed to be looking to mark this off?

There are many apps that will convert your smart phone to a GPS where you can mark spots. you can also drop pins on google earth or maps.
