Reading water color for more crankbait walleyes

Try this link for satellite pics of the lake. Like Bob mentioned clouds are often an issue.

Lake Erie MODIS Imagery

BTW: You can also use the satellite to monitor the ice. Handy in the Spring for those of us waiting on ice out.

I used to use the MODIS site all the time, and it is pretty good. However, the HUGE thing that you are missing with the MODIS site is the GPS coordinates. With the NASA Worldview site, you get the same satellite images, but you get much more control on zooming in and out, taking measurements, and the GPS coordinates are the bomb! I can move my cursor to a transition line where it goes from mud to clear and know exactly where that is on the lake. You can't do that with MODIS.

Here's a screenshot of what I am talking about:



These are the GPS coordinates that are in the bottom right as you move your cursor around.
