Google maps did a great job this past fall retaking photos from satellite image.   You can tell where weedbeds, sandbars are.

Ive been staring at aerial photos for school, work and hunting for the last 10 years. I don't know why i just thought to use them for fishing.

Over the last couple years I have found myself prefishing for tournaments on less familiar waters by first starting out on Bing.com    ;)

it would be scary to count my pre-fishing/scouting time. i spend ALOT of time looking at maps before i cast a line! 3-d maps are awesome!

Bing maps (birds eye and aerial) and google satellite or even google earth are all check out from time to time to see if there are updated maps, sometimes you can catch some winter images with ice on them too.
