Fishing with Aerial Photographs

[bcguides]

The value of aerial photographs is that they allow the user to visually see (IN DETAIL) what the lake floor has to offer. Generally, most lakes are timbered prior to flooding. Where you see trees on the photos these are now stumps. Where you see buildings, foundation rubble usually remains. As you study the lake floor with the Photo Guide, the first thing you should concentrate on is locating structure. Bass do not indiscriminately swim all over the lake. They relate to irregularities which are close to the shallows and which offer good spawning grounds, sufficient cover for protection, foraging and stable water conditions. There are could be stumps along a creek channel, a pile of rubble, foundations or the steep banks of a roadbed. The point is, fish holding areas may be a very small irregularity. Many of which are overlooked. By closely examining the photographs you will see thousands of likely areas that should be fished.

Capt Mike Starrett here ,, I did some Potomac River maps with you in the 90"s right?

Kind of. This is Bud's daughter, Katie. You did work with my father and Rich on Potomac River. Rich passed away in 2013 and my father's health isn't what it was. I am helping my dad with the maps trying to expand the customer base. The internet sales kind of went stagnant after Rich passed. So I am trying to get that back up and running. Dad doesn't understand all the forum postings and Facebook postings, etc. So he is selling the maps and making some money while I do all the work. lol

Pleasure to meet you Katie. Think we met once at dinner. Do you have any of the reprints of the Potomac left?

Thanks
Capt Mike

I know Dad does not have any. I have to look at my aunt's to see if Uncle Rich had any. If he does, it would only be 1 or 2. I am planning on going to her house this weekend to take inventory. Most of the boxes are at our house but he had a couple. I will let you know.
