There are many places that might be close that are fishable -- You just didnt know they were there, or if there was a place to Launch the Boat... Or what road do you use to get there. That is where Navionics is Your Friend. Lots of small shallow places out there. I use Chart Viewer ------ It is wonderful on bigger water where Contour lines and Depth can help find a place to start on some Huge Lake that is far enough away you don't go -- Like Toledo Bend or D"Arbonne. It starts out with Satellite view that lets you look where you want--- and it shows every body of water -- Lakes and Rivers have Contours, Boat ramps and Names ,, Highway numbers too. And you can look any time for Free... If you want to Print there is a small fee and study more places than you can Fish. It can give you places that Paw Paw fishes that you might be lost for days, and show you how to get back. Go to their Chart Viewer by the Web -------- HTTP :// webapp. Navionics.com/? Be ready to spend some time looking
