Here are the coordinates for the fishing structure that was placed in Big Creek just recently. I found them on Iowa outdoors site. Ben Dodd ,the Fisheries Management Biologist, states that these coordinates should be shared with other fisherman and the DNR will soon have a public database with the info.
I hope these numbers help someone out. Here is the site to help with putting in the numbers. A lot of good information on getting your GPS to work.

My name is Ben Dodd, I am the fisheries management for the Iowa DNR. I have the coordinates for both Big Creek and Saylorville and I am posting them below. These projects were spear-headed by Central Iowa Anglers (CIA), a very good fishing club in central Iowa. They put forth a lot of time, labor and donations for these projects, so you can thank them for their hard work and contributions. The IDNR Parks and IDNR Fisheries collaborated with CIA on the Big Creek project. The Corps of Engineers and IDNR Fisheries collaborated with CIA on the Saylorville project. Our plan is to get these coordinates and all other habitat project coordinates into our Lake Management Database, which will be able to be utilized by the public. IDNR Fisheries hopes to get this up and running soon and get the word out to the public. These coordinates are public information, so feel free to share these points. After all, our goal was to improve fish habitat and attract fish for anglers.
