Bathymetric Lake Mapping was performed by Greg Grimes with Aquatic Environmental Services for a homeowners association in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. To read more about the mapping project click here. During the mapping process in the field, Mr. Grimes was able to notice the main creek channel. They made sure to collect plenty of data in this area and sure enough the maps showed a defined meandering creek channel.
Mr. Grimes discusses the lake mapping and fish shocking survey process: “When mapping we used our shock boat so knowing this service was part of our management services we performed this service upon completion of mapping. We shocked up many good bass. The real hot spot was the meandering creek. Luckily while mapping we tossed out a few marker buoys. Many large bass floated up right near the markers of the creek channel. One really cool thing that I would also like to share is that we tagged a bass at the boat ramp and 400 yards away it was shocked an hour later in the creek channel. It is amazing in a 32 acre lake to get a bass we just shocked but even more amazing is how far the bass traveled in short time.”
So after the fish survey and mapping for the sedimentation it became clear they also were going to use this map for fishing. During the data processing phase, The Mapping Network provided Aquatic Environmental Services a few GPS coordinates of the hotspots and now the residents can go back and find these locations. Resident Phyllis Lea did just that; she took her granddaughter to the creek channel using the maps and knowledge it provided and had a morning to remember.
While bathymetric mapping might be primarily for monitoring sediment, never underestimate the power it can have for finding fish as well!
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.
