Fish-N-Map Company Information

Fish-n-Map Company, founded in 1985 in Colorado, produces and distributes both freshwater and saltwater underwater topographic maps and charts. These maps and charts, made of waterproof, tear-resistant plastic, fold up to 9" x 4" and are approximately 3' x 2' when opened. Not only displaying the underwater structure of the lake or ocean, these maps display boat ramp locations, facilities, campgrounds, navigational aids, fish locations, roads and onshore topography. The company was founded by Curtis Sporbert, who, in 1985, was becoming an avid fisherman and was intrigued by the fact that some areas of a lake or river were "hot spots" and other areas were devoid of fish. A series of books written by Buck Perry, considered the "Daddy of Structure Fishing", brought new ideas to Curt's knowledge of fishing. The founder of Fish-n-Map Company started to use "structure" and the knowledge of the underwater features of a lake to his advantage in catching fish. Although some of his theories needed modification, it was obvious to Curtis that Buck Perry was correct in his analysis of "Structure Fishing". A new "hot" lake, named Spinney Mountain Reservoir, located in Colorado, was mapped, printed and sold along with other lake maps at a show in Denver; Fish-n-Map Company was born! Since that time, Fish-n-Map Company has expanded its product line to include the entire western U.S. The maps have improved dramatically in quality and information provided.
