I imagine many of you name your favorite places you like to fish. I'd like to hear what some of you call your favorite places. You don't have to give away locations, I just want to see how creative this bunch is. Here are some of my favorites: Split Rock, Jackpot, Jig Eater. Between those three spots, I've probably caught more than 1,000 crappies in the last few years. What are some of your favorites? Maybe share a story with it as well (how it got it's name).
Sure do! On Fort Gibson during the last tournament we came up with beaver point! A rock that looks just like a beaver standing on it's hind legs. On my homelake we are a little boring, 1905 named after a waypoint, the shale bank, red clay bank, tombstone, the alien (don't ask me or I'll have to.....well you know) LOL.
Redge, great reply! I look forward to fishing with you and hearing the story behind "the alien"...
My Dad (Crappie Ciller), and I were fishing a new brush pile during the heat of the summer which was perfectly sheltered from any and all wind. Great news was the fish were biting. Bad news, it was over 100 degrees with the sun beating down on us. After a couple hours and about 50 beautiful crappies later, crappie ciller named the pile...Death Valley!!
That's cool, Death Valley! We do need to go fishing together!!Quote:

I don't name mine and don't use counters either. :dono Of course we have boring lakes around the OKC area with not much going on with them.
Ummmm...Johnny Cash Pile? That secret is safe seeing that I have no clue where it is! You're holding out on me old man!
slabtastic, 3 pigs, pigs flat, pig pen, chin, chung, booyah, 2.42lbs, my brush, my brush 2, my brush3, ...
That's what I'm talking about! I would love to fish the "Pig Pen" some time! What a perfect name for a great big-fish spot! Three Pigs has got to have a good story. 2.42 is pretty self-explanatory. I'd probably put a little shrine on that one so that everyone knows it's sacred ground (water). I love all of this. Keep it coming.Quote:

Zeke- This pile is so sacred that I can't even post its name but you will remember that we sing a certain song by The Man in Black each time we yank big fish off of it. Now no more talking......Quote:

Don't name any of them personally. I know, I'm boring.
Wareagle and I were talking about this thread and laughing about it.....then we realized we had Rattlesnake, Bass Pro, Red Underwear, Marker, etc....lol
Andy
What button do I push?
Glad to see Ledge respond, His Kaw way points alone look like a small dictionary!!! LOL
Red Underwear??????? Now THAT'S a name for ya. There is a story BEHIND that one and I don't think I want to know it.
We need stories guys! I'm sure we'll all love reading them (unless they're R-rated of course).
Ok George....its not as good as you think.....someones red underwear were stuck in a tree kinda marking the pile...lol....and NO THEY WERENT MINE!!!!!
Andy
LMAO!! that's funny, thank you
Down in the Santee area around Stumphole Landing we have: Community hole(guess how many know about that one), Camo hole, Mailboxes, Dead Alligator hole(even though the carcass rotted away years ago, thank goodness), Ray's hole(yes I found that one), Osprey hole, and a few more that have slipped my mind.
