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.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
