Scouting with Aerial Photos

Hi All!
I am new to this board and to muskie fishing.  I have found aerial photos to be very helpful for hunting and now for fishing.  I have found many of what looks like good spots to try my luck for muskies.  Free online photos for NJ are available from a NJ State website located at http://njgin.nj.gov/OIT_IW/index.jsp (2002 Orthos)  When used with TatukGIS Viewer multiple pictures can be overlaid to make one large picture.  The "TarukGIS FreeViewer" is available at https://shop.tatukgis.com/Down.....dList.aspx   (Under "Applications") 

The image below is the Delaware River, showing the full length of the Pennsauken Creek.  On top is the mouth of the Rancocas Creek.  The total pic is 23 TatukGIS images combined.  With the viewer you can zoom in to any section of the picture and view great detail.

This pic is a zoom of where I will first try my hand at a muskie.  It is a cove off of the Delaware... http://www.comemeetme.com/creek2.jpg

I hope you all find this usefull!

Hey Nick,

Let me be the first to welcome you to the site and thank you for your contributions. Too bad the aerial photos can't be overlaid with topographic maps to show both the real life look as well as the waterdepth, contours of the riverbed, etc. Oh well, guess that would be asking too much.
Anyway, once again, welcome and thanks.

Hi DL,

You can see both topo and aerial photos at http://mapcard.com/ but there is a yearly fee.  They are limited in pic size and zoom capabilities.  You could also open a browser to a topo site such as http://www.topozone.com or an online chart/topo/chart site such as http://www.boatersbox.com/

Thanks for the welcome!

Nick
