Lake Map App


Recommended Posts

Has anyone used a Lake Map app for their phone? Just heard about the app and wondering if they work well or not.

I have the Navionics app for the iPhone and it works well. I compared it to my GPS the last time I was out and they matched up nicely.

The app was pretty buggy last winter and this spring, but the updates have been an nice improvement.

I still use my GPS and lakemaster chip 98% of the time. Nice to have the app to mess around at home or during downtime on the ice.

I've had the Navionics for Android for two years and it's absolutely worth the modest ten dollar fee. Used it on LOW last year and it was great.

Does the Navionics app have lake of the woods and upper red lake contour lines?

Attached is a photo of what the contours look like on the app. I purchased the US and Canada Navionics App. The US version does not include the Canada side of Lake of the Woods. It is only $5 more the US and Canada version.

I have the iPhone navionics app and it works well but I don't have any decent contour lines for red, am I the only one with this issue? Would be nice to have some decent lines and not just a couple crib spots and scattered depths with a few humps

I also have for the i phone, doesn't show much for contours on Red either. I guess I just figured there wasn't much for contours to show?

From what I have heard there is quite a bit of small humps and small contours that aren't on there. Would be nice to have something to target instead of just a big open wasteland

I have it for the IPhone and it doesn't show any contour lines on Red Lake. In fact, it says not surveyed on the lake!

Are you looking at the reservation portion of the lake or the State owned side of the lake. On mine the reservation portion is not surveyed and the state side has some contours, but not much.

Make sure you're not on the Reservation and as suggested zoom in more.

Here is a screen capture from my iPhone minutes ago. Seems to show the contours for me.

Guys, I'm telling ya I've tried everything! Zooming in as far as possible still doesn't help. I also am not on the Res side. I've got nothing!

If you are checking out RL for the fist time...when you are in/on the nonres portion of the map, click on menu then download map. You will then be directed back to the lake map. Click on download map again. The app will tell you if there is additional map info to download.

I start to see contour lines at .2mi zoom.

Done it multiple times. I'm not worried a out it much. I have a GPS with the new Garmin chip. It's not a hard lake to figure out anyway.

Hi Anglers - just went on Navionics US and Canada and downloaed about 1/2 dozen differnt Red Lakes. Hope that I down loaded the right one by Waskish. There are no contours on the Lower part of Red Lake there are some in the Indian Rservation area with some fish cribs listed. Hope this helps.

      I must be real lucky, caught another healthy one, 30"  in the shallows tonight less than 6 FOW.

      Dude, I already trolled that spot, nothing but slimmers!  😄 Glad I saved money by stopping smoking a while ago. It's free most of the summer now! Been calm and yellow out for days! 🤧

      Bet you would enjoy a nice paddle down the Cahulawassee River, too then. 😏

      Talked to my neighbor is getting ready for a trip via fall lake.    They use small boats with like 10 to 25 hp outboards and portage wheels.   There are two portages to get into pipestone bay, with the second one being over a hill.   From pipestone they can go around to Jackfish? bay,   There is a big sign to warn about where the no motors area is.

      Seems like a long way to climb, to sight in a gun! 😐

      On the South End... The walleye and sauger bite continues to be very good with anglers enjoying consistent action.  As we transition into fall, fish are being found at various depths, but 25 - 32 feet of water has been consistent. Jigging continues to pick up as the waters cool.  Water temps this week are down to 64.  Top jig colors this week include gold, orange, chartreuse, and pink.  For some anglers, big numbers caught this week jigging with frozen emerald shiners on the lake.   Some anglers are jigging on or adjacent to structure.  Others are finding schools of walleyes and saugers out over deep mud.  Using sonar to find fish is helpful.     Spinners and trolling crankbaits continue to produce fish as well.  This is a transition time where multiple presentations are working.  As the season progresses, jigging will take over as the top technique.     For those pulling spinners, gold, pink, orange, glow red, or glow white has been successful. Adjust your weights to 2 - 3 ounces to match the depth and speed you are drifting / trolling. Trolling crankbaits is still producing nice walleyes.  Some goto colors are gold, chrome / blue, pink UV firetiger, and chartreuse.     More and more walleyes are showing up along the south shore.  It seems things are gravitating towards fall patterns where good numbers of the fish are both chasing shiners and moving closer to shorelines.  The bite has been excellent and is really shaping up nicely for the fall jig bite both on the lake and in the Rainy River. On the Rainy River... A variety of species continue to be caught on the Rainy River.  Nice current flow is providing fall anglers some optimism for this year's fall shiner and walleye run being a banner year.  Some reports of nice walleyes being caught in the river already this week.   There are reports of shiners in the river all the way up to Birchdale.  Things seem to be setting up nice for a great fall on the river.  Mother Nature will have the final say of course. Sturgeon fishing is picking up with cooling waters.  Anglers anchor up and use a combination of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig with a flat no roll sinker.     Find a hole in the river or simply mark these big fish in an area, anchor up and soak some crawlers! Up at the NW Angle... Walleye fishing up at the NW Angle remains really good. Fish are being found in many areas.  Structure, neck down areas as well as on the flats.   Some good fish are still holding in the deep mud east and northeast of Little Oak Island in the mud.  Areas around Four Blocks, and north of Garden Island producing fish as well.    As on the south end, jigging, spinners / crawlers and trolling crankbaits are all producing walleyes.   Smallmouth bass, pike and muskies are also being caught, both by unsuspecting walleye anglers and when targeted.  As the waters cool, crappies and jumbo perch are also showing up nicely for anglers.
