  • In many areas it's easy to find a good fishing spot, such as a hidden boulder, with Google Earth. It's not as easy when standing on the shore to know precisely where to cast to make sure your bait or lure gets close to the structure. This video shows how Google Earth and a phone App was used to fish hidden submerged boulders very successfully for highly structure-oriented blackfish (tautog).

    Hi John, this was a super informative video, thanks! An idea for a future video if you get antsy this winter: it'd be really helpful if you could supplement this with a video on how you decide when to go fishing (current/tides, wind speed/direction, water temp/time of year, proximity to a storm/"run-off" from land/water visibility, etc.)

    Great tactics, very similar to e-scouting for hunting spots. That nav app is a great tip for cast lines.

    Thanks for the intel, John. I've used the free version of Navionics on my PC to search for new fishing grounds, but couldn't figure out how to get GPS coordinates. You've connected the dots for me. Now I just have to figure out how to get beach access to the Sound in the Huntington area.

    Been doing almost exactly that. Go back years before I had a smart phone using a handheld gps & google earth. Don't worry, I'm not going to tell anybody I can tell exactly where you were at & never been there. I have been checking it out (online) for about 2 years now. My NJ butt is to lazy to drive out there. Maybe this winter , take a drive, check some spots & see if non resident parking is aloud. Forgot to mention, great vid as always.

    This is not reliable , Try this coords 36•28'1.10 N - 25•22'4.30 that I used from Google earth .
    It takes you on land.
    Be aware if you guys using auto pilot or any other guidance in water this is not reliable.
    This can be fatal mistake if you lead your boat on rocks.
