I got bucket load of data for shallow areas for Lake perris. Very very little info on the deeper areas. Anyone have a fish finder that is willing to start this project with me for all the FNN to use for the glory of Lake Perris, that is, if there is a new forum channel opens up?

Last topo was dated back to 1977. Latest topo stops short at the lake's water edges, which is at 1593 feet recorded in 2007. Nothing, and I mean nothing for the present day of the lake's bottom.

I've compiled a latest database of GPS coordinates and depths that I've gathered for the past 2 years in the shallow areas: east side all the way to the island, south side from east to dam, and along the dam from the north to the south within the buoy line. Very little data on the north side since that area was heavily populated by watercrafts causing too much data discrepancy.

Data collected: water structures, such as fallen trees, swales, depressions, odds and ends structures, even a very old rock bed roadway (possibly for construction activities way back when), and even sunken boats and old Christmas trees/debris. Also plants' growths, including heights (perfect indicators for predation fishes that chase after their meals based on the times of day).

Let me know if you guys want to chime in with your data. Use Google Maps to plot GPS coordinates and depths. If you don't know how, let me know. I'll help you out. It's going to be an awesome contour map, utilizing Google Earth and maps satellite overlays to create this unique project. I can do the same for DVL, Silverwood, etc., just as long as I have data to use.
