Default iPhone app to mark fishing spots?

Does anyone know of an app (native or from the app store) that would allow me to mark an exact fishing spot using an iPhone?

I don't have or otherwise need a handheld GPS, but I always have my phone on me and being able to ouse it would be helpful. I don't like throwing out fishing buoys since it alerts everyone else on the lake that I've caught fish there

Thanks

MotionX-GPS $0.99 from the App Store. It allows you to download nautical maps.

I use navionics. 10 bucks but has all the contour lines and user submitted fishing spots. I thought it was worth it.

I fish a lot of smaller lakes and streams as well. Jackson Lake, Lake Rupert, but also Rocky Fork and Paint Creek Lake. Does it have charts and info for the smaller lakes in Ohio?

Cabelas recon fish is free. It uses your phones map to figure out where you are. It can mark waypoints, it can follow your route and remember it so you know exactly how to get to a spot. Once you mark something you can add video, picture, voice record all so you know exactly why and what you were doing at a adopt. Also it has a "comptuer " system that charts speed, and if you type in a way point on a lake from a previous trip to go to it will navigate you there. One of the best free apps out there

Cabelas Recon looked like a great app but then I fish Lake Erie exclusively and see that it is not on the list of the lakes covered.

I have the Navionics chip for my Lowrance and just bought it for my Iphone. I like them both so far.
