Go 192 yds NW of the truck. Turn right, and go .35 miles East. Drill 1 hole. Drop in bait. 13 feet below the top of the ice, not the bottom of the ice. Should be able to limit out in 17 min. Go everyday, and keep a limit, tell your buddies, have your buddies there’ll their buddies. It will be awesome forever!

MFish you would be millionaire for everyone that checks.

That’s funny stuff right there. ;D

You guys gotta check out my YouTube channel! ’Hotspotters’. If you ask questions I’ll send you private messages at the rate of a 14 year old girl.

Even better they are boneless browns. Tender and easy to clean...well they make good soup with corn included. ;D

I didn't look, but if it was me, it'd be the local sewage treatment facility. Am I right?

Tried to take some cool drone shots and make a fishing video here but got arrested for trespassing. Also didn't get a single bite. Anybody wanna help with my bail? Anybody? Guys?...

You guys should go fishing on the little salmon river in late may early june. Even the locals call it combat fishing. elbow to elbow. Unison casting and when the person at the front of the line snags up and breaks off or gets a spawning salmon on the hook, a person moves forward. Craziest thing I had seen in my if you want to call it fishing life. Everyplace a person could use public access to the body of water had multiple people stacked up on it. FWP in Idaho actually captured several thousand salmon that were trying to make their run to the fishery where they were hatched and they hauled them down the river several miles cuz the fishery was not ready to accept them for egg capture.

Riggins is a disaster every time the king's come back. It sure is entertaining though.
-
AH, someone who knows about riggins. I wish I had known these interesting facts about the Riggins area before we entered into some business dealings down there many moons ago. Still have remnants of that, but much closer to being done with that than we were a year ago.

That’s what the dock at Holter looks like when the rainbows are spawning. I take my time loading and unloading the boat and do my best to get in everyone’s way.

Good way to find 4 flat tires on your tow rig went you come back to load up
-

The docks specifically say for loading and unloading boats only
-
Last time I was there ended up with three or four people's line in my prop. Good way to get ur poles broke in half if you ask me
-
I'm with Lund loading, docks are for loading and unloading not people line up fishing or people swimming, seen this too many times
-

Not in real life, only on the internet. Nobody is dumb enough to do that in plain sight. As stated, the ramp is clearly marked. These people dont move when you're loading or unloading. They're shoulder to shoulder dragging fat rainbows up the ramp. I'm not a trout guy, but its honestly pretty disgusting.

I was always taught to not play in traffic. Except when my dad was pissed at me, he would say “go play in the traffic!” I’m very confused
-
BigSage, didn’t we play a game like that. Frogger. Lol.

You are correct G Fish!

Here I was hoping everyone just gave in and decided to give up all of their information in one simple thread... ??? If y'all could maybe turn on the tracking info on your phones that would be great. I could collect it via drone I think... Or if you prefer older technology, please fill out a 3x5 card with your name, date, body of water, exact location on said body of water, tackle, depth, bait, water temperature, rectal temperature of bait, rectal temperature of fisherman, rectal temperature of any fish caught and exact method of jiggin' your rod.

Hey, now you are treading in my waters. Except I don't need the temps or location of the temps taken. ;D

I think the objection would be from other boaters.
Yes fishing off the ramp is a no no. FWP could solve this by not just dumping salmonids that home into there release location by not dumping them in at ramps.

Ah, I see. I’m always courteous to other boaters.
Guess we hotspotted that location. Oops. ;D
-
My pet peeve when guiding was getting to a ramp and have some clown inflating his raft and all his gear spread all over the place. Then when you asked them to please respect the rest of us they want fight or something stupid.
Yes, you hotspotted! ;D
-
I just keep waiting for onX or some other hunting and fishing app to offer "Hot Spot Pro." It will use the location data from your phone and data mined from Facebook pictures liked the ones on the Montana ice fishing Facebook page to generate a heat map of where the biggest trout walleye perch Pike Etc were caught each week.
For an extra $6.99, I might even unlock hotspot Pro Plus, which will give you the track log and actual fishing locations of the people who posted the biggest pictures of fish on Facebook the previous week.
Another $6.99 gives you Hotspot Pro plus plus which cross-references DMV information so I know which pickup truck or four-wheeler to look for at the parking spot. Thankfully that option also cross-references your Albertsons Club card so I at least know which beer you drink and I can offer you one when I show up at your Shack.
The future is here, and it's crapifying everything.
-
There are guys on Devils lake who find a school of perch and sell the coordinates.
Thank God FWP has banned using drones when hunting. It seems like everything has to be easy these days.

@ MT_btagger - The disturbing thing about the scenario you stated above is that it will probably happen much sooner than we think !! >:(
Maybe,,,just maybe, I won't be much of a contributing factor tho because the only time I turn my phones location services on is to sync my FitBit & I don't do the Facebook !!

I wouldn't be surprised if some of that technology is already in the works. What happened to just going and figuring out a lake, might have a few days you get skunked, but eventually figure it out.

Wouldn't surprise me either !!

Technology happened & it does help us all in our daily lives.....But, I just think some rely on it to much....To each their own !!
As far as going & figuring out a lake goes.....No need to do that anymore.....Just join IS & let someone else give you all the intel !! ;D

Yea, seems to be getting that way, had a guy years ago wanted coordinates to my favorite spots. I personally feel much better about my trip when I figure out what to use and where to go on a new body of water.
-
Ive asked info on a starting point. Never wanted to know a spot
to go,or a honey hole, living so far from any lake fishing and only getting a trip or two a year to most lakes does make it hard to figure out a pattern or good spits to go ,when I lived in Idaho I lived close to quite a few lakes , so I was able to find and figure things out on my own, I agree that finding your own areas and what to use is more fun, for what its worth I only keep what I can eat, and I throw the good spawners go,
-
Like I said in my previous comment, fly the drone, vid your catch and disclose location it if you wish, but leave other peoples privacy as privacy. When you vid other people, that is borderline voyeur and invasion of expected privacy. When I am camping, I absolutely do not want strangers taking pictures or video of my space. My wife and I feel invaded when we are in a camp ground and strangers walk up and start taking pictures of my dog, myself and wife. She like to sun bath and we pick areas that are off the beaten path.
If someone really needs a picture of me, they can just go to the post office and scroll thru the wanted posts. It's safer that way and may be rewarding.
I agree, when I set up it's away from others so I can enjoy the experience and enjoy whoever is with me.
-
It's bad enough here but you guys should see some of the elk hunting forums or FB pages. Half the comments when someone posts arent congratulations, they're mostly "where at?". Or half the posts are "i want to kill my first elk, tell me all your spots, i can't (won't) scout pr do any homework. Wheres the best place to kill OTC 360 bulls in 2 days without any other people and only 200 yards from a road?" Then get mad when people tell them to do their own dirty work. I'm a very generous guy, I'll answer specific questions when it sounds like you've done your own homework and have put the effort into it, and generally am not even that secretive about where I hunt or fish, but I'm not going to give anything away to some lazy pile either.
-
I need links to those Facebook pages, I didn't get to hunt because of work and I am looking for a shoulder hunt. Want a calf or dry cow.
P.S. Would like mine tied to a tree waiting for me with the butcher wrap paper ready to go.

No joke! Montana ice fishing's unofficial tour guide!

It looks like the navionics app has a feature like that. Sadly, it won't be long.
I'll be investing in radar deterrent cloth for my shelter from here on out!

Which one is that? I have two in mind but am not sure if I'm thinking of the right one.
-
Blonde lady? Mary? I get getting out there and having fun but the consequences will be real...
-
I got ya now thanks. I have very limited time to fish (like 2-5 trips a year) and I still work things out on my own, and do the homework. I prefer not to give any info that would ruin a spot for everyone, or hand anyone any info. I'm happy to help out but I would rather give someone a tip that they also have to use their noodle to use as well. The help I ask for is the same way, if I'm going to ask for help I'm going to have specific questions that also imply I have most of it worked out on my own, not just fishing for a handout.
-
being relatively new to iceshanty, I now understand why many of the water bodies have very few if any posts. I try to share some info, especially ice and snow conditions but avoid specific locations. it is what it is these days. still, some ifo is better than none at all. Cheers and tight lines!
