Our Story Fishing Hot Spots started in 1975 when we created our first book of lake maps. To give anglers the best advantage possible, the maps featured helpful advice on how and where to fish on each lake. Before long, we transitioned to the rugged, water-proof maps that we are known for today. Larger and more detailed, these maps featured more and better information, and they soon became the cornerstone of our business. Over time, the maps evolved, first, gaining precision through state-of-the-art, digital cartography. In the 1990’s our fishing maps were united with the world of GPS navigation. Using chartplotters, anglers could now navigate directly to the trusted fishing areas from our printed maps. Partnering with manufactures like Lowrance, C-Map, Raymarine, and Garmin, made our expert information available to millions of anglers. The rise of the internet fueled further innovation. In 2010, a fishing-based social network, called Fishidy was founded, making the expert information from our maps available to anyone with an internet connection. Our current collection of where-to-fish information includes more than 600 print-edition maps spanning 41 states and digital products featuring over 150,000 points of interest. In February of 2022, an agreement was reached with East View Map Link to promote and manage the printed map business.
