Are there any good sites of lakes with contours and Ariel shots.thanksDarrell

Download the Navionics app to you tablet or PC. Really handy. Between it and google earth, you're set.

Thanks guys . Eric get well my friend

Already off all the meds and going back to work tomorrow.
You know they can't keep us old country boys down long!

Here's what Navionics looks like (Ferguson Point-RC). It's great for scouting new lakes. You can get exact waypoints of potential spots. Definitely worth the download.

Click link below and zoom in to your lake. Left click and hold your mouse to move around.

hey shut-up, that is a very interesting link...i used 2 work for the soil conservation service and we shot topog maps of farmland like this...thanks for sharing this...very helpful

Thanks Dave what does all the double numbers all over the map it also doesn't show the river channel

The double numbers are the depth of the water. The river channel is visible...the tight gradients between depths.

Well I know the water at the bridge is 16 ft deep and it says 5 and where is 30 it says 9

you can get hot spot contour maps from Bass Pro, Cabelas, or check local bait. They have a chart you can use to gauge how deep the water is in that area. I had to get someone to show me how to read the water depth and it helped a lot especially on planning out fishing trips. Here is the website to see if they have the lake you are wanting. www.fishinghotspots.com
If that doesn't work the navionics app is good. Hopefully this helps

Thanks guys, both of these places look good. Our lakes are getting old and filling in and washing out, after this year we will all be learning when they move back in.

Look in the bottom right corner and change the depth to NM from Kilometers.

I just looked at Lake Palestine , and the numbers are certainly not in feet ,

are those numbers in meters ?
