Thanks for the post ! That will work!
I use google maps a lot ....good stuff
I started using google maps (for fishing) last year. You can search for and find good looking places to try on the water.
Those are beds around the trees? I like it regardless. Good stuff.
Oh yeah Skeet......a bunch of em.....LOL. The lake is almost gin clear.Quote:

Sure just pull up the name of the lake you want to look at. I pulled up the name of the marina I always launch from and got close to the area I fish. Of course as I said the lake is almost gin clear. I fish 2 big lakes that have clear water and you can see the bedding areas.Quote:

Google maps rock , most spots don’t have water so clear you can see beds but to be sure the maps show lots of stuff that can give you ideas ....look for really green coves in the summer , the soupy green kind , shad will be thick in them ...predators will be there along with me ....
When I lived in town and didn't have a boat, I used google maps for all of my scouting ventures. It helped me find a ton of areas that no body every considered fishing.
For the person asking how to use it. Pull up a normal map of the area you want to look at. Scroll around until you find a body of water. Zoom in on it. Change your view to "Satelite" and it will give you the picture you are looking for.
I've found ponds out of the way, little bends in a river that created an oxbow, small ponds on city land. Even ways to access areas otherwise thought to be private! Great tool and I still utilize it today!
Sweet.... Thanks for the tip
Thanks for the post.enjoyed.
Google Earth works best! You can access previous years satellite images and see when the water was low and see structure and trees that are normally submerged. Study the pics and you will see many new spots. The circles are beds. The rocks and trees will hold fish. The depth to find the deeper holes is easy to locate as well.
You beat me to it !! Yes, that is a function of Google Earth that's better than Google Maps .... and you can also get GPS coordinates of those trees, brushpiles, etc. on Google Earth. Though I doubt they would be "pinpoint" accurate, but they'd put you in the vicinity. But, of course you'd have to manually enter them into your GPS device ... then mark them (again) when you find them & delete the GE GPS waypoint.Quote:
