Rocks Close to Shore

You are indeed correct

Correct. All the marked channels I know about still have the solid black and red in the correct orientation as the others.

I've found that the satellite image over at yahoo maps will get you a pretty good bottom image of anything you'd need to worry about close to shore. Google's image is better resolution, but most of it is covered in ice

Bing also has pretty good images of the lake bottom. I use it to check out shallow areas. This shows those Timber Island rocks:

I can almost see some fiberglass gel-coat left on the tops of some of those rocks: http://yhoo.it/1pBaMcy



A cool app would be one that takes these satelite images, and jacks up the contrast to enhance an 'underwater' perspective.

Take a look at the area around FL #44 ..... between Pitchwood and Eagle.

Is the image just "pixalated" or are those ALL small rocks (close in to Pitchwood)?

I can almost visualize the proper boating path through the 44 and to the Red top south of Stonedam with this view.

I think what you're seeing is light reflecting off ripples in the water creating an illusion there are a bunch of rocks.

I'd like to say that those appear to be reflections off the top of the water.

Google map (even though there is ice), doesn't show those 'reflections' or 'rocks'. But it does look like a minefield in yahoo or bing maps (they must be using the same satelite imagery).
