google earth and bluefins

[markc]

i know there has been a little talk about bluefins on here recently. i just got the newest version of google earth. it has an ocean tab you can click, turns out it tracks tagged giant bluefin. there is on about 50miles out masonboro inlet right now.

Holy cow, that's become cool. Did you see other tagged fish ?

Not only will it track, it wall actually take you underwater so you can see the terrain..like Canyons..Heads..Rises..etc

You have to download the new version of Google earth..then you can type in a search term like "Keller Canyon"..zoom down it will show you the bottom contours in 3D and then keep zooming it actually takes you below the waves to the sea bottom..its' very cool..like your standing right on the bottom looking at Canyon walls etc.

I spent two days on it researching Canyons from around the Globe as we are naming some new lure product that will get some "Canyon's" names.

Worth a download and time to play with it.

How did people catch fish 20, 30, 50, 80 years ago? No wind ons, braid, flouro, two speeds, fast boats, GPS, google earth, radar, fish finder, how did they do it?

Thats pretty cool

Anders, How did people catch fish years ago? There where more fish we just went out tossed in a line tied to a cane pole baited with most anything and filled the boat.

I'm going to have to download that new google earth. That looks like hours of fun.

Fishduck it is hours of fun! I think last night I spent a good 2 hours. There are turtles, white sharks, and there was a striped marlin northeast of new zealand. It is pretty cool, I hope they update it as fish are caught.

Being from the old generation and not too computer smart I am confused which Google Earth to download. There is 5.0 version and Free Google Earth.
