Shore based fishing can be challenging to say the least. Between lack of water access and crowded public spots, it’s a wonder you can even get a chance to catch a fish.
In this video I will show you how to use the tools in Smart Spots to find the lesser traveled spots so you can find your own fish and not have to fight the crowds.
You will learn how to:
Use the Launch Spots, Boat Ramps and Public Land Layers all together to find spots
Use satellite images to look at at spot before you make the trip
Use a hidden feature to know the lay of the land even before you leave your house

I really like this information and use together of the smart spot app
Thank You Pat. Very interesting video.
Great intel, thanks Pat!!!
Checking maps & driving around a few hours can really help shore bound/wade fishermen find spots worth checking out, some are fantastic !!! Thanks Pat !!
Great video and information for fishing locations
Great information. I learned a lot. I didn’t know what the “little dude” was for. Maybe restroom locations. LOL
Thanks, Pat! Good stuff! I’ll definitely start using this as I routinely take a rod with me when I travel for work just in case I get some free time.
Glad you found it helpful! I always keep a rod in the back of the truck just for “emergencies”!
Pat,
I’m not having success at using the little dude at Oregon Inlet NC. What am I missing?
Make sure you’re dropping the little dude on either a road with a blue line or a blue circle. That’s on Desktop. On a phone you’ll just have drag and drop him around until he sticks.
I was able to see on the beach and the Hwy when I moved him over.
Try on a PC, it’s easier to identify what places you can see.
Let me know if you’re still having issues.
Just saw your response. Thanks
Lots of information, thanks Pat
Thanks David!
GREAT tips Pat. I visit Florida every year and your tips will be very helpful to finding locations to fish from shore as well as a kayak.
Glad you liked it Warren! I’ve used that street view (the little dude) all over the country and it really does help.
