Interesting maps!
The FishingAces link is broken;
Should be http://www.fishingaces.com/gdata.php
@anonymous - thanks for the head's up - I've fixed the link. It now works!
Its nice to see that people are finding my site.
This last year it was requested by my family to create an online way to store information about our hunting and fishing trips. As the project escalated it started to develop into what is now growing into a full fledged community hunting and fishing website. Added with the power of the Google mapping system all members have the ability to see the markers they enter in a Google Earth style look.
One of the main features that we were concerned about was the ability to keep some of these markers private in cause we did not want anyone else to know about them(personal hot spots). This makes it possible to hide markers on the map from all other members except for those that you all to see them through individual access or through group membership. Groups are what make this site what it is. Each created group allows members the ability to add private marker access. Each marker added to the group gets put into the groups allowed list. All members in the group will now have access to those markers listed as long as that member is involved in the group.
My hope for this site is to give a few more options to the sport I care about so much.

Google Maps are a fantastic tool for sports that involve discovery. I have found a freeride skying website that overlayed paper maps on the satellite view, but I can't remember the url.
There is also this surfing guide that uses google maps. http://trip.estimfriends.com/en/
It's amazing how you can view waves from the sky. Like this wave in Bali for example: http://trip.estimfriends.com/en/surf/asia/indonesia/bali/bukit/balangan-42.html
