Understanding GPS Lake Mapping

When Accuracy Matters: GPS Lake Mapping

GPS Bathymetric Lake Mapping by The Mapping Network

On the surface, a lake or pond seems serene and effortless to maintain, but under the shell is a complex, dynamic organism requiring expert knowledge to produce a perfect balance. To fully enjoy your lake or pond it is essential to know the facts. Exact acreage, depths, and chemistry of your lake are critical factors for making the best management decisions. Armed with this knowledge you will be able to properly place structure, deliver appropriate stocking densities, select the correct fish species, apply the right amount of weed control, and of course gain a better idea where those bass may be hiding! The Mapping Network maps lakes throughout the entire year but typically the best time to map a lake is from fall until spring, while the weeds are down. An accurate lake map provides the information needed to make the most of your aquatic resource. The Mapping Network provides the highest quality and is the most affordable bathymetric mapping system on the market today. If you are serious about maintaining a high-quality lake or pond, be sure you have the ability to make the best decisions, get your lake mapped by the professionals at The Mapping Network. Give us a call or send an e-mail to find out more details.

Lake Mapping to Maximize Management Plans

GPS Lake Mapping

Pond Medics Inc., successfully completed a GPS lake mapping project for a client in central Texas. The owner of the lake wanted an accurate, up-to-date base map highlighting the old creek channel and marking existing diffusers and feeders with GPS coordinates. This new lake map will assist the owner in locating the most favorable areas to fish. As far as a management tool, Pond Medics will use the lake map to calculate acres for stocking, help evaluate how many weeds may be present, calculate acre/feet for treatments, etc. In other words, provide the client with the best fishing possible on his lake.

GPS Lake Map Isolates Fishing Hot Spots

Possessing an accurate map of your lake is a great asset to your fishing success. Greg Grimes with Aquatic Environmental Services, Inc., recently completed a GPS lake mapping project for a client in Georgia. This is a master planned lake designed specifically for growing trophy large-mouth bass. Extensive habitat structure, ridges, brush, feeders, etc were carefully placed during construction. Once the lake was full the client had the lake mapped utilizing The Mapping Network’s lake mapping technology to reveal this unseen, underwater world. Combining sub-foot accurate equipment and depth accuracies of up to 1/10th of a foot, the resulting maps provided a picture of the bottom of the lake. Mr. Grimes was able to provide a map highlighting the ideal fishing zones in the range of 4 feet to 16 feet deep at 1 foot intervals. This lake map shows the angler exactly where the fishing hot spots are located on the lake. If you are serious about managing a trophy fishery in your lake contact one of our lake mapping partners to provide the expertise to make it happen!

Spectacular Nebraska Land For Sale: Niobrara River Frontage with Excellent Hunting Opportunities

Nebraska Hunting Land For Sale - This Is One Amazing Piece of Nebraska Real Estate. 3/4 Mile of Niobrara River Frontage and Over 1 Mile of Lucky Creek Running Through the Ranch.

You will have to look long and hard to find a ranch like this one. Niobrara River frontage, live creek water, secluded alfalfa fields and tremendous rugged canyon land that is 80% tree covered. There are White-tailed Deer, Mule Deer, Merriams Wild Turkey all in abundance.

The ranch borders the Thomas Creek Wildlife Management Area. This is over 1,000 acres of Public Land that is walk-in only hunting. This makes it extremely hard for the Public to get to the back side. It’s like having an extra 1,000 + acres to hunt. What makes this one of the finest deer hunting spots is the 89 acres of alfalfa. These fields are surrounded by tremendous bedding cover. It’s a huge food plot that is miles from the nearest road. I drove my Polaris Ranger within 40 yards of 4 White-tailed Deer. They rarely see people. There is a cozy 4 bedroom, 3 bath house with garage and a good metal building included. The current owner would stay on as a tenant and caretaker. More road development could be made to improve the ranch. The current owner has the equipment and know how to do both.
