marking waypoints on gps

[tbone1088]

Hey guys,
looking at a map of skootamatta where I will be fishing for a week and noticed some very nice shoals that I would like to mark on my gps. Problem is I need the exact coordinates and the shoals are not seen from google earth. Anyone have some ideas? Ideally I want to mark about 4 or 5 waypoints around each shoal to have an idea of where they are.

Just turn on your boats gps, i know i can zoom in on any lake with my HBirds, from my shop and find an area i want to mark and save it, can make a whole trail if you want

My gps is actually a handheld e-trex 20. I have tried doing an image overlay on google, but the resolution of the map I have is terrible and all the depth contours are lost.

Fish On-line has a good map of Skoot. and shows the contours. The Lat and Long are on the bottom right corner. Click on it and it expands. MNR's Make a Topographical web site is also real good and in the satellite mode shows a lot of the shoals. The Lat and Long are in the bottom left corner.

This is how I mark spots for ice fishing. Works real well.
