Finding Secret Fishing Spots With Google Earth! (Actual Favorite Waypoints Shown!)
Вставка

- There are so many Google Earth Tricks fishermen don't know how to use! With our cross country move we've been spending a ton of time on the computer preparing to explore new lakes. We've found a bunch of new spots using this method and today we're showing you how to do the same. Come along to some of our favorite fisheries and see our best spots as you learn the methods! (If you're a California angler, get ready to write down some coordinates!)
Every angler knows you can jump on google maps and get a good idea of what a lake looks like before you arrive. But few anglers know how to remove distortion from the map, jump between different water levels and times of year, drop waypoints, and export all of it to the electronics on your boat. Its amazing how far technology has come and if you're not progressing, you're falling behind.
Google Earth is just one of the tools you have available as an angler today. Modern electronics have seen huge advancements as have the mapping cards that we use with those units. Google Earth is a free program that any angler with a computer can use. We combine that program with a few different electronics to maximize our time on the water. Below you'll find links to a few of our favorite items from different brands to help maximize your time on the water.

Pro tip, you can turn off tilting while zooming. Go to tools->options->navigation tab, then bottom right choose 'do not automatically tilt while zooming'
If you're a bank fisherman DEFINITELY still do this! I've picked up doing this earlier this year and it has paid off 10 fold!!! Specially if you have only a few spots available to access this is key to better your fishing!
I would love to see a video of you going over these waypoints with your electronics and showing what they look like for example, the rock wall would be a good one. Great video can't wait for more!
Definitely, I needed to know this thanks Tim🎣🎣
Can't wait for the next installment
I would name them all “snags” “big snags” “ really big snags”
Great Video Tim. Thank You for the Information. This would be great to do in the Winter Months, when the Snow is falling. You & Matt come up with some Wonderful Ideas for Fellow Anglers.
Great video. Im about to fish Clear Lake for the first time in a week and will definitely be using these tips. Thank you so much.
Can't wait for the second part to this!!
This as been part of my way to prepare myself for a little while now. It saved me tons of time and made me a good bit of money. Made me get an edge on a new lake vs the locals. The advanced version to transfer all of this on the units is gonna be interesting for a lot of folks. I now have a system for this and it pays off big time moving from lake to lake!
Great video, I’ve been using Google Earth for years! Tim you just added a new dimension to it! Thank you! I’m just about to get a new boat which I’ve purchased with Hummingbird solix units for the bow and center console, with lake master! This will save time and gas! I’ve become more of a fish hunter(bass), I think this is one of the best videos you two have ever done! I subscribed about two years ago, one of the best moves I’ve ever done! Wow! However I favor smallies and finesse fishing, this will help greatly! Yahoo!
Awesome tip and very clear explanation of how to use. Great job Tim! Welcome to Tennessee!! Can't wait to see you guys up here on Cherokee and Douglas some day.
Great video! Checking out the terrain before going is always great! But sometimes you dont know till you get there! haha
Putting Lake Oroville on the map! Hope Tennessee continues to treat you and the fam well. Definitely one of my bucket list states to visit!
Bring on part 2 for this, please! I’ve been wearing my eyes out looking at google earth for too long. 😂 need to put these waypoints in my graph!
You just took my game to the next level.
Love it! Can’t wait for the next one in the series!
This is great Tim. I already use google earth, but I’m just scratching the surface on it’s functionality. The ruler in tools is excellent for plotting a kayak route! I’m looking forward to the next video!
This video is INCREDIBLY useful. I would recommend a series of these that help us to understand how to tie (end to end) this all together. If you did this on your new lake in Tennessee it would be a fantastic value for you and us. Bravo! This is INCREDIBLY helpful!
Love the tips Tim! This will help out big with my kayak, my main lake is drained due to dam construction this will be awesome and very useful for other lake's for me, great video! Hope Chic produces some giants for you guys! Stay safe and healthy out there guy's and tight lines!
