Hi Guys

I'm after some charts for the Newcastle, Swansea areas. Any ideas on best place to get them & what type for fishing info

Are you looking for paper or electronic charts?

 

I've been using navionics on my tablet or phone which for what I do works well.

thanks, I have a navionics card in my sounder but would like a couple of paper charts as backup

I have purchased maps from Map Centre Parramatta before.    My boat isn't big enough to store paper maps lol but they do carry nautical maps from memory.

 

Cheers

Thought I'd mention Maritime NSW law change as of 1 July this year.

Paper charts are no longer required when opperating more than 2 miles to sea if you have appropriate electronic (GPS) charts on board.

I bought the Paper / water proof charts, first i used them, to learn all the bay names around the Hawkesbury, now i use them to find new places with the kids for Swimming or fishing.

Always good for a read while floating around and when the fish are not biting, or you can listen to Pod Casts if you have a tech friend who sends them to you.

I bought a bunch of the maps

Hawesbury

Sydney Harbour

Parra river

Jarvis Bay

Port Stevens

Cheap and handy
