What is the best source for GPS coordinates for fishing spots.

Hire a guide and mark their spots. They are usually cool with it.

Time on the water.

Depends on where I suppose.

A GPS.

It goes like this:

1. Go fishing
2. Hopefully find fish
3. When you find fish, mark the coordinates on your GPS.

If it's a lake you frequent go out in the mornings a few times and you'll see certain guides on the same spots, usually for crappie or what have you. Get an idea of them and then come back later and pin point with sidescan

Best thing you can do is probably hire a guide to show you around a lake or bay, whichever it is you are looking to fish. Then go spend TIME on the water, lots and lots of it. Keep a journal on what you caught, where, tides, winds, time of year, water level, ect ect. But what you are doing is learning how to pattern, find, and then catch fish. If that sounds like no fun to you, maybe just hit up the fish market, or hire a guide a few times per year.

Depends on the state. Example: Arkansas and Missouri Conservation Departments have a website that you can access and download the positions and a map of all the artificial fish habitat structures and brush piles they put out in different lakes in the states.
I don't know if TPWD has a site for downloading the same type info and data or not.
You can download the data, then save that to a formatted card then you can stick in your sonar units. They have it so you can load them for Garmin, Hummingbird and Lowrance.
The map with all the positions and coordinates will then show up on your map screen and you can navigate to the structures pretty easy.
Once over the gps coordinates spot you can split screen to you down imaging and actually see the structures.
It's very useful.

You can also purchase lake and bay map/chart cards from Hummingbird (Called Lakecaster) cards or from C-Map and Navionics specifically for regions of lakes or bays. They simply load into your sonars as a chip card and download to your map screens.
Lots of good information on them and well worth the cost.

This thread has to be one of those bot trolls…

Actually- I don't mind sharing my most secret fishing spot on the internet. Don't mind the fake-cop security guards who will try and run out off. Just show them your fishing license and they will leave you alone.

I'm not up to speed with how to embed .mov files, but I've been waiting for the perfect thread to post this one.

Ahem....this is for the OP.

Trump rant - POC fishing potlicker greatness.

You have to manually adjust the volume.

I will tell you the A #1 best place on Earth to fish..... the best place I know of is right next to me. Get next to me then push for your waypoints. Works 99% of the time.... (well ok maybe 85%)
