MDC App.

MDC has a free Missouri lake App. for your phone.

Find MO Fish



This free application shows you a map of Missouri with the locations of public boat ramps to the major lakes, rivers and streams of Missouri. The map also shows you the exact location of underwater fish structures put in place by the Missouri Department of Conservation over the years. These fish attracting structures act as habitat for fish. With the geo-location feature, you can guide your boat right up to your favorite fish attractor and start fishing.

Additional features will be added throughout 2011. Try it now and get hooked on fishing in Missouri.

You can go to MDC and get it or find it on your phone.

Wow very cool map. I zoomed in on the quarry where it showed brush piles placed. It is like google earth and actually was taken with a boat sitting right beside two of the three brush piles. Thanks Brian

Nice thanks for the info will check it out.

Yeap got in on my phone, comes in handy when you dont know where things are or where fish attractors are located since your a new guy in the area.

Someone needs to make this a sticky, so it doesn't get lost.

Man I've got to upgrade my phone. I just drop them in the lake so stinkin much that its hard to upgrade when I'm 95percent to lose them in the drink. I bet if I had lake maps on them I would treat them like pearls of great price though. Good post brother.

I can't find it on MDC .. anybody have a link?

Done. Good stuff Bigby!!!! Thanks

Thanks crappieslab! I know nothing about phone apps, but I forwarded the link to friend of mine. Sounds like a pretty neat deal! Thanks for link.

I don't have a smart phone. Glad to help.

thanks a bunch, I hadn't heard of this app. it should be very helpful. great info!

Wow thats a nice app to have thanks for the info

Thanks for the info.

Tried the download for Blackberry and it said not available for this device . :(

I looked for hours on web for lake maps and depth maps to scout out lake of the ozarks. Then I saw this and it was everything I was looking for. Good Call!

Very Cool

Nice app. Seems it could have more functionality unless I do not know how to do it. I was hoping that it could tell me how close I was to the fish attractant using the GPS and also a feature where I can mark a waypoint on places I caught fish so I can find them on later trips when the water changes depths.

I'm not sure where I found the download, but I think I ended up downloading it from Sprint. I downloaded to I-phone and looking forward to using it.......thanks for the info.....

:fishThat app is so sweet I swear my fingers smell like crappie after I used it!!!!!:fish

Looks like the Conservation department is going to have a Fish Atttractor Maps (internet) to view.

You can select "Fish Attractor Maps" on the following page.....

Fish Attractor Maps | MDC

It does appear they have some work to do, as I experienced some problems. However, it looks like they are going to list coordinates. They show query by lake name, which should make it easier to zoom in to the lake of interest.

This may be of some help for those who have gps in the depth finders. It may also be helpful to locate attractors using coordinates on I-phones.

I'm not sure where this all ends, but I located Conservation Department Boat Ramps............

I guess I haven't paid much attention to what the Conservation Department has been doing lately.

how do you down load this app? I have never downloaded an app of any kind.

I don't remember how long it took on my I-phone. I do know some of the downloads take several minutes. When I'm down at Pomme de Terre, it seems to take a lot longer to update an app. I just let my downloading go and wait for it to complete. I know some downloads seem to take forever. You have to think this is a fairly complex program. So, it will take several minutes to download. Just let it do it thing and download. If it says it is downloading, it is probably working........just wait for it to complete......relax.....
sorry for the late response. I was out of town. If you think there may be a problem in downloading the app, why not try to download a different one. I'm sure you will enjoy mapquest. It will take several minutes to download, but it is worth while. Like I said, just relax and let the downloading work......

hey bob My daughter came by, I was telling her what is going on, let me see it dad she said,,, tap/tap, slide/slide.... it's done... easy as that,,,, nice having a IT tec. in the family. thank you for your assistance.... good fishing to you

hey beagle man, I was getting really concerned. Have your daughter download mapquest, gas buddy, weather.com, and maybe google earth. Mapquest comes in real handy. I'm sure your daughter can teach you how to use it. It's a navigation system where a gal will instruct you where to turn, etc. to get to a location you aren't familiar with. Of course, there are other options too. And, it's free..........good luck......I'm happy your daughter solved your problem. You may need her to help you learn how to use some of the apps. Have fun,
Bob

to make it clear it was after all not me, it was the people who programed the new android.once it was set right all is well, I got a lot of downloads done already,,, all by myself,,,, thanks again,,, now go fish,,, I am

Love this app!!

I have played with this a little bit on Truman. I can find GPS coordinates on my home computer but on the iPhone app they are not listed that I can find. The app does have a GPS function, but uses triangulation from cell towers. You will find that there is a delay as the phone location is locked in. This is a bit of a problem when moving. You also have some difficulty reading the small screen in the sun if you use bifocals. It works but it takes some effort. My next step is to wright down some coordinates at home and learn how to use that function on my hbird 587.

You all will have to update your Find MO Fish app to the new MO FISH app soon as the first one is being phased out.

Here is a link;

wow, what is funny is have had that app but never installed it and it is awesome. shows all the fish locators on T hill where I fish and they produce, saw a update on reproduction, which has been excellent for crappie, not so much for bass. gave me an idea of where to fish in future!
