About Fishing Hot Spots Maps

All 3 regions have Fishing Hot Spots (FHS) maps of some of the top US fisheries. Fishing Hot Spots maps have more detailed fishing information. All the FHS maps have profiles of the lake characteristics and many have marked fishing areas with tips on how to fish the area. Fishing Hot Spots makes an effort to include features like boat ramps, facilities, camp areas, etc. - the basics you need for a weekend on the water. Clicking on the facilities POIs will reveal a list of the types of amenities available there - groceries, bait & tackle, fuel, parking, fish cleaning stations, etc.

The FHS lake contour maps emphasize underwater fish-holding structure and aquatic vegetation. FHS underwater structure may include ledges, rock reefs, shoals, river channels, building foundations, roadbeds, bridges, man-made fish attractors and rock piles, among other things. This underwater structure detail information can help you find great places to fish, as well as snorkel or scuba dive.

FHS maps also include lake profile and facilities information, and fishing tips and techniques detail for the fishing area POIs in the maps. The lake profile detail is shown when you select an FHS map from the Detailed Lakes POI category. The facilities and fishing area information can be displayed by selecting these features in the map view.


About Lakemaster Maps

MapSend Lakes USA has Lakemaster (LM) depth contour maps for over 1000 additional lakes, in the North region and the Dakotas portion of the West region. In these areas, we use LM maps if we do not have FHS maps for the same lakes. Lakemaster coverage is concentrated in the upper Midwest and Northeast. All LM maps show depth contours and shorelines and some include boat ramps, bottom composition and aquatic vegetation as well. Some folks just like the simpler, Lakemaster maps better. The LM maps add more choices of fishing destinations with useful depth contour coverage, including information for lots of mid-sized and smaller lakes, so you can choose to spend a quiet day fishing in rural surroundings or a quick trip close to town - and plenty of fun.


About the Base Waterways, Roads, and Other Map Features

MapSend Lakes USA SD cards also include basic surface mapping for thousands more lakes and major rivers in the lower 48 states. Most of these are searchable by name. The product generally includes more road detail inside the FHS and LM map areas, but it shows highways elsewhere.
