Re: Google Earth Question
Why don't you try Bing Maps.
You can alternate between Road, Aerial & Bird's Eye View Maps which will help you locate the water bodies. I frequently use the Bird's Eye to check aerial conditions at places I need site info about before I visit for work. It can give N-S-E & W views of the aerial photos.

Re: Google Earth Question
Just use Google maps and change from map to satellite view. You can zoom in pretty close then it'll just to street/ground view

Re: Google Earth Question
Try NJ Geoweb. You can turn on water bodies as a layer and they will stand out much better against the aerial. Link here: http://njwebmap.state.nj.us/NJGeoWeb...68057367877144

Re: Google Earth Question
If you have a google account you can create a custom google map that will allow you to place markers and add attributes about that spot. You can also group the markers by category (species, kayak/boat/bank, etc)
The awesome thing is that the maps are available on any internet connected device (smartphone, tablet, pc, etc) and within the google maps app on your smartphone. The markers can be exported to KML format for use in Google Earth or other software packages that can read KML Here are some screen shots of what I have done.
