red_devil94 4 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Just thought I would try and be helpful. I know some people use google maps or earth to look for new fishing spots or scout them out before going there. Well, theres another website I had never heard of before called near map.. The link is: http://www.nearmap.com/Basically it gives you satellite photographs to within about 10 metres or possibly closer of the ground, and is much clearer zoomed in than google. Put it this way, don't go for a skinny dip outsiye if you don't want the world to see! Just Me, Savagelip and Ranger 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn2fish 4,613 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 nearmap is cool. I've been using it to spy on my neighbours :ohmy: not really. Been looking at buying a house, very handy for that. Took me about 60 seconds then ohhhh look at that great fishing spot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plankton 725 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 The images are also updated much more often then google maps and you can access the archive to look at older images, can be handy for checking out spots at different stages of the tide or times of year. The only issue is that it only covers the extended metro area, so no good for spots further away. red_devil94 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimbojames 285 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I found a couple of times that a new spot that YOU found that looks like a cracker ..... already has some one fishing there . Doh . But yes this is a cracker site . Being able to see tidal movements , sand/silt movements , water levels between drought and flood and if your neighbour is hiding something , it is a very useful tool .
