Not a sound expert at all
And I am sure not many will give out "great" spots, but the D9 site is well known, or weedbeds mixed with sand patches for whiting including KGs aswell as squid. Just watch the ink on a new boat.
Otherwise sound around and look for some structure like reef etc, not that there is much as it is mostly sandy/mud bottom.

D9
is well known and a good start. Dont fang it out there and just watch the sounder. Thats how you find good spots. I might WOT it home, but never out, as I have found some awesome spots cruising out. Cant be stuffed at the end off the day due to fatigue!!!
I always laugh at people going WOT fishing. The sounders dont work that well at speed, and they go over some great ground.

Your laughing at me - im
Your laughing at me - im still loving the novelty of being able to cruise along at 32kts after a previous wot of 24kts.
as for spots - along side GI for herring and squid. Along the edge of the channel for snapper... Or look for 100's of boats as pinkie season reopens

Where did you bring the boat
Where did you bring the boat from? Assuming you've been using it wherever you had it before and are familiar with your electronics. Check out the D9 wreck. Just look for the 100 other boats, otherwise just sound around till you find a lump and mark it.
