it just upsets me to see our state getting bashed for not giving out info
Like I said before, if I fish Waubay and do good I’m gonna let anyone who asks know that I had good results in 18 to 22 foot of water, if I fish Opitz and get skunked I will also let them know that fishing wasn’t good for me there. I’m not revealing my secret hotspot I’m just letting fellow ice fishermen know the best information I have to give them. 30 years ago I was icefishing with my grandfather and we were getting gas about to head home from a weekend trip in Minnesota. My grandfather was having a conversation with a dad that had three boys that were from out of town , he told them to fish the Shallows just off the main basin all around the lake in 15 to 18 foot of water and they should do good. I later asked him why he told them where to go. He looked at me and said, if we didn’t catch any fish while we were here would u want to come on this trip again with me? I didn’t know what to say, and he didn’t let me have a chance. Son that father saved his money to take them boys on a fishing trip, and I’ll be damned if I couldn’t help him make the trip fun for them boys just because I was so selfish that I couldn’t give him some useful information to make his trip successful. He then laughed and said, remember that old man at the gas station that I talk to when we got here on Friday night, I said yes, he grinned and said that courteous gentleman gave me the same information!
