Quinte Fishing

Greetings,

For those who doesn't know yet, Google Earth is a 3D (and free!) map of the entire earth. It uses satellite images, superimposed to regular map. The resolution of the popular (i.e. high population density) area is very high. For example, I can see my parent's house in Toronto.

The software is free. It can be downloaded at http://earth.google.com

This got me thinking: As I've never fished in BoQ area, I obviously don't know any the *hot* spots that people kept on referring to. For example, where is Ram island? Where is the "church" and the "cement plant"?

What if we use Google Earth to map the fishing hot spots? For example, we can give out the exact coordinate of a location, if you can recognize the location from the satellite image?

For example, is Ram Island located at 44.07N/77.00W?

Is Ram Island the small island on the middle of the image?

I'm obviously asking this for a selfish reasons...but I really think we can turn this into a project that can benefit everyone.

any comments?

Yes, that's Ram Is in the middle of the picture. What an image - Tres Cool

I haven't started using the GPS to mark spots yet, But I'll be making note of their waypoints and I'll post em.

The cement plant is easy, it's on the west shore just outside of Picton Bay - you really can't miss it.

The Church is the Old Hay Bay Church located on Hay Bay southshore road. It's southwest from Ram Is. Look for the launch ramp over there and that's the area.

Hope that helps?
