i'm sure y'all have all seen pictures of bay systems taken from a arial view, i've seen some by nasa, and what not, but i'm looking to buy one, in particular rockport texas and aransas, copano, st. charles, and carlos bays, i've seen it everywhere but cannot find it online and no one knows where they got their damn picture, its driving me crazy! anyhelp guys on where to buy these pictures?

You spurs fans sure do hold a grudge. Come up to a mavs game in dallas and i'll show you where to get those arials.

haha! it all started with this picture in the Off Topic, no hard feeling man, and no grudges, just some fun

Get google earth. It's amazing!

google earth does not offer what i want, thanks though, i will keep searching!

I was in Rockport over the weekend and saw the laminated maps/posters at Tackle Town in Rockport.

yeah, i want a aerial satellite picture, kinda like this, but more of the bay systems, like poster size, to frame, and put in the man room for an excuse to drink beer and plot out fishing trips.

check with the local game wardens. they may refer you to the county appraisal district. i know they do aerial photogs of areas. but ya a game warden will stear you on the right track.

Most bait shops or Gander mountain

ck w/ your local county extension ofc, or national forest service
or coast guard station. all of these must have up-to-date topo's
& arial photo's that can be purchased by utility & survey co's.
I have used this resource for hunting, I'm sure it'll work for
coastal areas, as well. might ck it out.
good luck & tight lines

I picked one up at the tourist information center in Rockport last year. I'm thinking it was free but if not it was very inexpensive.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help! I'm going to frame something and write out spots and such with a dry erase marker...

I really wanted a 15' x 6' suspended piece of glass with every bay system from Corpus Christi bay to San Antonio bay etched on it submarine style but nooooo, something about blah blah and blah blah.... So I settled on a 20"x30" framed print....
