I like to find potential spots on Google Earth. I have heard that the coordinates from Google Earth can be off a good bit from what a GPS unit says if you are not using the right datum.
Can you give me any coordinates for reefs in Big Lake? I’ve only been fishing there a short amount of time and I only seem to catch trout when the birds are working. I would like to be able to catch trout anytime.
I would like to get GPS coordinates for Central and Breton Island. If it makes a difference, we usually launch at Breton Sound Marina.
Thank you,
Rene Pfefferle
