Google Maps Satellite View Spots Sunken Islands

If you need to find those damn sunken islands and don't have a bathymetric map of the lake you will be fishing, here is a solution that works for me. Go to Google Maps, then locate the body of water you are interested in. Switch to Satellite View, and zoom in to the area you are interested in. If there are any sunken islands that top off near the surface you will see them quite clearly.

I went to look at Mitchinamecus Reservoir and I found some gems I would otherwise not have known about.

If you look at the top part of the map where the reservoir becomes the river, you will see a bunch of sunken islands - they are in fact rock islands, this is where I damaged my prop last year, I never saw those things coming! I got out of there quickly, not knowing that I had probably just found an awesome walleye spot.
