I am also a "shameful" fisherman as I often follow the charters when I fish the ocean out of Westport, WA.
When a spot is consistent for fish, I mark a waypoint on the GPS. It is also dependent on tide cycle at times, too, so keeping a fishing journal is pretty important as well.
Sometimes it is following your instincts and/or intuition and you get lucky and find a spot, those are often the most fun and rewarding. Local knowledge of a new area is really valuable, too.

One of my fishing buddies always tells me to mark the area of good fishing.
He says the best way is to just draw an "X" on the water Laughing
Reminds me of the old joke:

These two guys rent a boat and go fishing on a lake. They are amazed at the number of fish that they caught that day, so one says to the other, "We'll have to come back here tomorrow!" The other asks, "But how will we remember where this spot is?" The first guy then takes a can of spray paint, paints an X on the bottom of the boat, and says, "We'll just look for this X tomorrow." The other guy says, "You idiot! How do you know we'll get the same boat?"

Boy if this isn't the $40,000 question!
One of the best sources is to find a local online Fishing Forum specifically for your area, most likely no one's going to tell you exactly where to catch the fish but you should get some good ideas on where to look and what to look for, what gear to use, depth to fish, techniques and so on.

here's a handy tip....I used to mark waypoints on the chart plotter, don't use a felt pen, use something that is easy to clean off of the screen.

If you're going to follow a charter boat, be respectful & keep your distance.........I get self guided boats following me & the buggers will pull up next to me and start trolling ..arg, gogans, leave me some room to zig and zag
