Can you place one wherever you want? For example if I want to keep track of fishing locations? I can't search the point to add a bookmark, but I can't find a way so I'm guessing there isn't.

Cant add pins in Google Maps, only bookmark locations
 
I figured, what we really need is a right click alternative, maybe in that magical update! :)
 
Custom Map Pins

If you can get the lat/long from a map or Google Earth, convert it from degrees-minutes-seconds to a decimal lat/long (using + for North/East and - for South/West) and search for the coordinates. When the pin shows up, save it as a bookmark. A lot of people fish here 32.75982 -117.246239

If you need help converting, use this: http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/DDDMMSS-decimal.html
