Oklahoma brush pile waypoints tutorial. Today I show you how to get thousands of free brush pile waypoints. The information comes straight from the Oklahoma wildlife department’s website through an interactive map. I discovered this information has been around for years but you had to know where to look. The earliest form that I was aware of was an Excel document. On the document, some of the brush piles were installed in the 90s. The interactive map is compiled of the more recently installed ones. Now it’s easier than ever to get thousands of free Oklahoma brush pile waypoints in our Lakes using the ODWC interactive map. This is the newest version of the lake map book that they handed out at the classic several years ago. The main difference between the two is they actually give you the GPS coordinates on the interactive map.

You can now essentially just copy and paste the information. The Oklahoma wildlife department has done a fabulous job of documenting the location of thousands of brush piles in almost all of Oklahoma Lakes. There are even a few brush piles on Grand Lake, Hudson Lake, and Ft Gibson Lake. The GRDA controls these lakes so I didn’t expect the Wildlife Department to have installed any brush there. Now I will show you my process of using Google Earth Pro to store these waypoints. I can then transfer them to my Garmin Locators by using GPSBABEL software. gpsbabel is a free program that will convert Google Earth Pro files to most formats that current locators can read. The only difference between the brands in this tutorial is what file type is needed. This tutorial is sure to make your time on the water more productive.

Today I am bringing you my Google Earth fishing tutorial video. I pair Google Earth Pro with the Navionics web app to find secret honey holes. This strategy can be used while at home before you head to the lake. There are also mobile apps for each if you prefer to use a phone or tablet. I start by using Navionics to find exciting spots based on contours. I then go to google Earth Pro to show the lakes drawn down to see if there is anything that you can’t see when the lake is at a normal pool. If you are using Google Earth Pro you can also drop a pin on the location so you don’t lose it.

I started using this strategy while fishing bass tournaments here in Oklahoma. Even though looking for bass was the primary focus this can be adapted to find any species. If you know what structure and cover your target species uses then this strategy can be modified to find those spots. I am showing this using Oklahoma lakes because that is where I am from. Oklahoma lakes are loaded with spots that most anglers pass up. Using this strategy you can turn your Oklahoma Fishing trips into Oklahoma catching trips.

In my next video, I will show you the next step and this will be how to use ODWC interactive map as well as move these waypoints to your locator. This can be used anywhere in the world with similar results. I hope you try my method How to find fishing spots with Google Earth Pro and the Navionics web app. This video originally appeared on my YouTube channel.
