I gotta get the software - got any good tips?

I'd like to be able to plot out fishing trips and spots on a chart on
the PC.

I use Maptech's Offshore Navigator because I acquired it years ago at
a very reasonable price and already had some experience with it from a
friends boat.

Fugawi has a good reputation also and I believe a demo version can be
downloaded for a free trial:

The charts are free from NOAA, such a deal:
