Yes, there are a few lesser known spots here, but I doubt any local down here is coming off that info, even it is to KVD. I will bet anything that anyone down here that puts in the time to find or develop a spot that nobody knows about is not just fishing for fun. But pretty much every ledge on this lake is in some way or another a "community hole."
Tim Horton came in on a ledge I was fishing thursday and asked me to fish it. I let him and got back on it when he left 10 min later. Then Mike Mc Cellan pulls up and spends 30 min dancing around me. This ledge is not conspicious on any topo. They got it from someone. Jason Quinn fished a ledge inside a major creek arm Friday and Saturday. I've never seen a pro on this ledge before. I don't think he found it on his own. I fished it everyday the whole week and never saw him during his practice days. These guys are fishing 40 miles from there takeoff. They don't physically have the time to locate these productive spots. I guarantee they are getting GPS coordinates. They drive right up to a 20' wide spot in the middle of the lake!!!
