I found a new pond close to home today. I was jumping from pond to pond. Using fish brain. Then I started doing my own satellite scouting. Today I found an excellent pond. ! 10 cast 4 fish up to two and a half pounds. What an awesome find! I was and still am. So excited about this place. Now I need to find out how to Find the owners. Of these ponds I am finding I'm kind of shy about asking people. But I'll have to get better. Because I don't want another ticket. If y'all remember I already got one. And I'm not off of adjudicated probation yet for that. This fish is right at 2 lb.

Ssshhhh, No really... Google Earth Pro is a great tool also. you can go back several years and watch water draw downs in winter,, zoom in and find structure you'd never find. It's free to download and you can look at any lake they've photographed over many years , which is most of them in this country. Great tool

Well lets not get a repeat offence. Make sure you got permission to fish all these ponds you been goin to.
Good luck.
Jonmaly,
Check into an app called OnX
I believe there are free trials available for a week. It will show you private and public lands and whom the owners are, along with their contact info.

Jonmaly, In many states most counties have a link on their website to an interactive map that will let you click on a property and get some owner information. It may only be a partial address but it’s a great free resource to help you get started.
As stated earlier, OnX is good. It has a variety of map options. I have used OnX Hunt for three years now and can highly recommend it, especially if you are trying to be sure to not trespass. OnX will show you your location via a GPS reading.
