Check out some of the lakes you fish. Might get lucky.....especially if they are clear water lakes.

That's a nice bream bed. Wow.

Good idea. Just looked everything I fish though is a mud pit!
I didn’t show the whole area. The bed goes all the way to the right for several hundred yards. I didn’t get to fish it last year but hope to this spring.Quote:

Wow, that looks like some prime water right there.

That's more fish than you can shake an ultralight at.

You can roll the time back on the satellite images to find a clearer water picture, or even when a drawdown exposed hidden structure.Quote:

This post should be on the main page, just saying.
I been using Google maps for years. It is a great way to find secret honey holes. You can pick a lake apart with Google maps.
If you have side imaging, the bottom looks just like it does in the pics on the screen. I found my first one and didn’t have to ask any questions. They can’t hide in the muddy water if the imaging is set up.
That’s a good find for sure!
I can’t figure out maps but I take advantage of the heavy rains /high waters we usually get in late winter ,early spring and put the SI to work
have so many beds marked I couldn’t fish them all in whole week !
I’ve had side imaging for years and it has been a Godsend.....putting me on tons of fish. But when you see that on a map you go to that area and then start scanning. I had fished for two years just a couple of bays over. Had a lot of success but decided to give this bay a try. I was catching all the spawning fish I wanted but this place was so big.......I have cropped the photo so as not to give away the location.....it just goes on forever. The only problem the 130 mile one way drive gets harder for me each year.Quote:

Great idea on the Google maps
i was told by a tournament angler back when to find the GREENEST cove on the lake if you want to hammer crappie .
he said google map the lake and the soup green coves will be where all the shad are and look there first before you go wandering in a big lake .
google maps will help you if you know how to use them :cheers2
i've used google maps in past do they update them
Some of our area lakes fluctuate almost 40ft each year. I use Google Earth to look for gravel areas, primarily driveways, ramps, and dock areas that have gravel that extend out into the water. Of course it’s covered when the lake is at full pool, but with a little map study you can find these areas and eliminate a lot of water before you get to the lake. This spot is right next to a little drainage area, close to the main creek channel, and was loaded with Bluegill beds in late Spring. Found it on Google Earth, went straight to it and immediately caught fish. Side imaging helps of course, but these gravel areas can give you a place to start. Attachment 394464
Is that in Google maps or just Google Earth? I can't find it in google mapsQuote:

Yup and I use google earth more. You can role back the years on lakes and see them at different depths sometimes too. Has help me locate structure.
I’m not tech savvy at all. Can’t do much with fisfinders or such but I have figured out Gaia maps and use it a lot for hunting and fishing. It’s nice to look at what’s around you just out of sight.
Gaia maps? what is that? great discussion BTW very informative for those of us not tech savvy and have a hard time effectively using even our FFers.
Gaia maps is a new mapping service. I use it a lot hunting and fishing using map overlays showing public vs private land and who landowners are. Lots of different types of overlays
