Having an Edge

[TheMiz54]

I just wanted to share a video from Kevin Scarselli about using geospatial technology to gain an edge and get a different perspective about any body of water that you might fish. Its a long video so make sure you watch it when you have some time.

I have not been able to fish so the cabin fever is catching up. You can use these tools to help you understand your favorite body of water more or to research a new lake that you might be fishing for the first time. Using this technology will help anyone become more prepared and a better angler.
