I believe this subject deserves its own thread. I post this as an FYI. And thanks to Edwin Evers for giving up one of his fishing secrets! Some of you may already be doing this because I found this subject mentioned before buried deeper in this forum, and just wanted to bring it out into open for all to hopefully learn from and use with success:

Thanks for posting this. Now i need to find an hour to watch. lol

Thanks for sharing. I've been using google earth to try to better understand my current spots, and to look for new ones. I'm not very good at it yet, so I'm excited to watch.

I am halfway through the first video. WOW, that's some good stuff. I stopped and downloaded google earth pro and started checking out the fishing holes I use. Man this is going to be a game changer for me.

I almost exclusively fish rivers and have found the ‘historical imagery’ function the most helpful.  You can almost always find past imagery of the river at lower levels enabling you to see or ‘not see’ structure and features that at higher water levels might go unnoticed.  It is particularly helpful when planning a trip to a stretch of a river I’ve never fished.

I own a Microsoft AI copilot. It's a tool that is only in its infancy and it can tell me about fishing and fishing techniques in seconds. It's coming ...

Good Fishing

Speaking of Google Earth, this is the current image above a section of the Potomac River…
