Google Earth - bluewaterhunter - 04-11-2008
has anyone used google earth to help locate good squid spots?
I am trying to use to ID new ground off williamstown.
I think I have found some good potential...broken reef and a some nice habitat.
will give it run with the kayak when the winds stops howling!
Cheers

hi blue, you might also want to try the port phillip bay data here:

Go to the DSE Marine Map:

Turn on the "BATHYMETRY - PORT PHILLIP BAY" layer and zoom in!!! this will show you how deep the water is.

For those who like the pier at Rye....
Take a ride on the giant ferris wheel at the Rye carnival, I did last week and saw reefs that are within casting distance from the pier(surf rod with jig under a float).
Will post reports when I get to fish there again..
