I mark mine with a one foot by one foot piece of 1/4" plywood, that I painted flat black. I cut a hole in the center and a slot, so I can use them for my tipup covers also.

Navionics App on my smartphone.
Can also add markers for depths as you drill holes and use a flasher to get the depths.

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad.

On bigger lakes with crowds I jig a hole. Once ready to move I throw a tip up in it an move to the next. Then repeat proccess. Sometimes you get lucky and land fish with the tip ups. Win Win. Saves and marks your hole and you still can catch fish while fishin a different hole.

I walk to the bank and get a small piece of a stick about 6" long and lay it next to the hole. Most people walk right by thinking its just crap blown on the ice not even knowing I'm marking a brush pile or weedbed holding fish.  ;D
