DTro Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Just curious if everyone else gives their spots a name? I know I do as well as some of the guys I fish with. I find it much easier to communicate a spot versus saying, “well you know the bend with wood right by the sandbar by the deeper water” Here our some of our names: The Wall Creek 57 The Rocks The Jungle Grampa’s Bend Sheetpond Creek 47 squared 52 King Cat Hole The Tombstones The Wreck The Powerball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiskyknut Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I actually named a LOTW waypoint "wife's hole".. She pulled 30 inch Walter off of that spot about ten years back!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here-Kitty-Kitty Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Nope I just ask if we should Head up or head down. Depending on their answer I will know which spots to head too. I'm the captain and they putting it in my hands to find and locate the kitties. So saying that, I get the sh*t at the end of the night if I don't find them.

mainbutter Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 "anchor rock"On a lake the family goes up to in Ontario, there's a submerged rock formation that is out in the middle of open water, big drop off from maybe just under the water's surface to 80 FOW 20 feet from the peak. If you don't know it's there, it can be a real hazard to anyone really flying across the lake, if the water level is perfectly wrong. Its a proven producer of lake trout. One day we anchored there, and wouldn't you know it the anchor got stuck. We couldn't budge it, and the wind wasn't cooperating.After a half hour of thinking we were SOL and lost an anchor, I tied a bobber on the rope so we could leave the anchor and rope, and find the rope again and try the next day. Luckily the wind wasnt against us and we were able to pull out in the opposite direction to get it unwedged from whatever it was stuck on.We then dubbed it "anchor rock".. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
