Realtime Visibility, Temperatures and Elevation

[Ben Gillispie]

I am happy to introduce to you what I call Angler Spy™. This product I've been working on for the last 6 months features real-time, site-specific temperatures from two depths, pool elevation, and observed clarity.

This is exclusive to subscribers of my new website.

Currently, the service covers Table Rock Lake. We are currently branching out to include other area lakes.    

Here is what Angler Spy is all about:

• Real-Time Observed Visibility - Updated Daily - 1 disc = 1 foot of visibility. The first disc is 1' from the camera, each subsequent disc is 1' from the last. 
• Two Temperature Readings - Updated Hourly - from depths of 1' and 10'
• Current Pool Elevation - Updated Hourly - from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers gauges at Table Rock Dam
• Fully accessible on any device
• More depths, metrics, sites, historical data and lakes coming soon with your support!

Currently, these units are at 6 area marinas:

-Cricket Creek, State Park, Indian Point, Cape Fair, Kings River, and Holiday Island.

Over time, Angler Spy will replace Table Rock Temperatures in order to focus time and energy on perfecting the art of Angler Spying and to improve and expand coverage.

No, it is not free. No, it does not cost an arm and a leg!

Yes, it costs less than 2 Whopper Ploppers from Tackle Warehouse for 3 months of unlimited, multi-device access.

Ben, this is some serious real-time data. Wow. Just wow! Guys, think about how much this could save you in truck gas and/or boat gas/oil, not to mention time spent traveling to different areas of the lake only to find conditions weren't what you hoped.

Dang, I love technology. And I love that we have young folks out there like Ben who are determined to put it to amazing uses like this.

Very cool stuff! Way to think outside the box!

State of the art stuff right here. If I fished Table Rock as often as I'd want to, I'd definitely take advantage of this no doubt. Thanks for implementing this for us lazy fishermen who like to scout from our phones/computers. Wish this could be implemented on all lakes I fish at. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

Ben that is some crazy awesome stuff. What a vision. I love techie stuff and even though I don't fish Table Rock it looks like I'm going to spend twenty bucks just to play. 

Just out of my own nosy-butt curiosity, what is the process to keep the discs cleaned. Looks like some are already getting some growth. 

Great stuff though, I love it.

Well, it is just sediment from the rains. There isn't really growth, it dusts right off. The process involves a complicated process whereby I take a gutter brush and clean then off ?

Champ, thank you much for the kind words. Technology is indeed impressive, and such a playground. The possibilities are endless!

Gotta rename that. Maybe eBrush 1.0?
