Goofy way point names?


leech~~

Recommended Posts

What goofy way point names have you used on your GPS to mark lake spots? One of mine is "Else" It's a spot that someone had marked with a jug a few years ago that I have caught a few Walleyes at so I marked it Else. For someone elses spot! grin Another is "Trifacta" since I caught a Walleye, Bass and Northen all in the same spot! Goofy! wink What do you got?

"nonslot spot"...couldn't catch anything but fish in the protected slot, moved a few miles, all I could find were eaters outside of the protected slot, hence "nonslot spot"

Minnesota River spots are interesting. Names come from some river rats or history, both new history and old history.

Otherwise, pretty generic. My waypoints incorporate the species, the type of structure, and the name of the lake. Plus with contours I can usually go back and find spots without a waypoint, which clutters my screen (I know I could turn the icons off).

mine are very similar to deer stand names, they just happen. I also have a lot of numbers that just popped up. If anyone looks at my gps they have no clue what anything means. Usually I'm marking in a rush so I don't take the time to put a name in. One of my favorite spots on our lake is a hump between 9 and 6. The spot between 7-8 doesn't produce as well.

SXXXXX For Structure

SdXXXXX for Sand

RXXXXX for Rock

MXXXXX for Mud

BXXXXX for Spawning beds

FXXXXX for fish

TXXXXX for Transition

Guess my names are pretty boring...But the pictures explain all the detail i need, Sd,R,M,B,F,T are just easy ways to find types of structure. Got different icons for the above as well.

Some years back my wife who rarely fishes caught a very large Jackfish near Elm point on the LOTW, I hit a waypoint and later that day named it "wifes hole", she did'nt see the humor in that for some reason !

Shes just not up on fishing lingo. Like Gap,hump,deep, drop,crevice!

Ask her if it would have been better to name it "Wifes Flat"? wink

I got a lot of unique names for waypoints. One day my dad and I found a spot to try and the fish were going like crazy and the Kenny C. song Shift Work was playing so we named it Shift 3-11. If I find a new spot close to one I fish often I will use N,S,E & W then the name of the other waypoint.
