Question about the "Lines"

[Puck5760]

Hey Guys,

 

I am new to Salmon fishing and well addicted.  This has been my first "off season"  I have been watching and reading over numerous charter captains reports on facebook and online.  I have noticed guys say in there reports they fishing the 28N to 31N and 12-16W.  I know it has to do with where abouts on the lake.  My question is what is this a reference too?  I probably just asked a huge rookie question, so I am ready for the hazing!

Look on your GPS at the long set of numbers, the 2 digit numbers in the middle are the numbers that they are referring to. So you know the North and West 2 digit numbers which are roughly 1 mile a piece for all intents and purposes. That's as easy as I can explain it. So someone at the 28N and 16W is approximately 1 mile NW of you if they are at the 29N and 17W. Numbers get bigger going north and bigger going west. Hope this helps

In each port, the lat/long lines mean something entirely different. The oak is probably the port where you see “lines” mentioned the most.
