No harm sor foul in saying my name snapper. But I bet no one seen my truck anywhere this year and I'd almost bet no one will find it next year either . I was very incognito especially after being followed and set up beside the entire first day I was out by the same guy. Heck it was probably cfisch the first day I got out was a weekend

Dam, I missed a lot!! This thread made my morning!! I've fished with just about all the guys that posted on this thread. I think I'm the peaceful guy in the middle cause I love all ya *****s!! I dont think I have any enemy's on here. I've helped put guys on fish and was helped by others. I would never drill n fish between two guys like slab mentioned. That would bug me a bit too. You gotta give a guy some space. I have been asked by others if I minded that they fished next to me. Anyone polite enough to ask like that at least was trying to be good about it. I was personally invited by 3 different guys to join in the striper action. I never did get out there at all, but was told more info about it than my brain could ever retain. Wish I could have gone just chose to stay on the crappie that provided more frequent action for the kid or kids that went with me. There are still a few secret spots on Arthur, but you have to help create them and be selective with the location. Sink brush piles in productive water off the beaten path and you'll have fish. Most ice fishermen are not going to make a super long pull to fish an unknown out of the way area. There are places on that lake that are over a 30 minute walk from road access. If you dont want to stand out fish where you won't stand out. I dont think this site gives anything away really from pictures its mostly who you tell and what you tell. That and people aren't blind. If you have a tent city that looks like coopers lake set up day in and day out in the same spot guys will take notice. Kinda like drilling 100 holes in the same spot says gees theres a brush pile here. Its just part of fishing. All the guys on here are great fishermen. The trick is to find the spots 1st and get the best and most action you can before word gets out or guys notice you. Then move on to find the next great spot. Crappie point, dead forest, the maples and underwater bridge. Those have all been killer spots over the years. They still produce. They aren't ruined its just that the fish that are there are shared by a lot of guys that hit those areas frequently. The striper area may be like that too its just part of the cycle. I should add that the striper area is huge unlike the maples and other areas named. There were stripers cause 300 yards apart from each other just so people understand it wasn't like you had to share a 10" hole to catch one. They were traveling fish. Nobody was getting them all season either. Striper don't feed much in the dead of winter. They "wake up" so to speak when the weather starts to change. Many years the ice would have been crap, by the time any were being hooked. This was just a great year where everything lined up just right. They moved through that area and guys were ready for them. Tons will be caught when the ice first leaves too. Its been a great long ice season and best of luck to all in the open water.

Now Mo, why you gotta be like that?
