<p>Love this tip, Allen. I downloaded Google Earth and have started mapping out target ponds and lakes for the Spring season. Thanks for sharing.</p>

<p>One other little tip I forgot to mention:</p>
<p></p>
<p>If you do recon on foot or by car, especially in the woods, do so in the Winter, when all the leaves are down. This makes it easier to see into the woods.</p>

I typically use the map function on my phone. As I drive around, I note the ponds, them review them<br />
closer in Google.<br />
My wife typically does most of the driving, which affords me the chance to "reconnoiter."

<p>David...that google thing is a great aid, as Allen pointed out. That is how I find a fair number of small park, municipal and public venues with good fishing.</p>
<p>Don't overlook spillways below millponds either...these are great fishing hole in the spring when fish are moving up stream to spawn and feed.</p>

<p>I do the same thing - zoom in as close as I can to see what might be there.</p>
<p>I have found a TON of small ponds within a few miles of my house, and Ive started cataloging them. Now, finding the owners is the next step.</p>
