Ruh Roh you’re in my fishing hole

[MtnElk]

As someone who’s been fishing his whole life… and has his share of secret spots, this is going to not go over well if you think hunters guard their honey holes, fisherman are downright nuts when it comes to that.

OMG

Make it stop

Ok I’m not a fisherman by any means, in all honesty what makes this so much worse than onx hunt?

Hunting is for a very limited amount of time each year, with a limited amount of people. In many places, everyone can fish every day of the year, so the opportunity to truly and irrevocably #*^@#* up little spots here and there is high. Pressure.

How is this any different than the hummingbird ap I already use other than I already bought that ap. I’ve been using onX to fish for years found my best fishing hole using it. 15.6# walleye for reference

I think I was about 10 years old when I was taught the best way to ruin a fishing spot was to talk about it or take someone. It's worse with hunting spots.

This is all assuming that onx employees can access your waypoints and steal your spot?

Yeah, I don't see it making much of a difference, there are very, very few secrets in places like Colorado, and the only reason they're secret is because it takes work and sweat to get there...

Same. I think Onx is late to the party on this one. Apps like Navionics even share waypoints publicly across the platform to all users.

Ha.

No I can just see this leading to little, unknown, and delicate spots getting overrun. But what isn’t, I guess?

Apparently no one's heard of Fishbrain?

There are more than enough people who brag about kick ass fishing locations that happen to be yours as well.

Example: Flathead Lake.

Btw, it's a great site if you're interested in learning some interesting fishing locations...

Interesting. Hard to say what effect it’ll have. I feel like onX is the best worst thing to happen to hunting in a while.

 

[Brittany Chukarman]

For me it's not the "spot". It's the spot on the spot, especially when I'm already anchored on it. Too many have no respect for others when it comes to fishing. This won't help. I've never even owned a cell phone, I hate this stuff.

Just remember, it's my river and you're fishing on it

They needed something to spend all of our cash on. A new app!

That’s a big walleye!

Iowa dnr provides essentially very similar information. Not new and hasn't "devastated" anything. If Gaia linked that data to the app to eliminate a step or 7, rock on.

They do, do, public waypoints which are as beneficial and "live time" that I don't mind popping off as well, like Google maps and speed traps.

Unrelated, but that is exactly what Co-Construct did/does, buildertrend after the buyout, with their user data to provided analytics. they scanned Invoices, prices, estimates...whole shebang...like Facebook saying "most our users PMs discuss infedilty, prostitution, and in one case an orgy as his wife was giving birth"

It's everywhere, not isolated. I could show you investor relations papers explicitly detailing how the users $100/$300/$1500 SaaS is 1/10 the actual business model revenue, irrelevant to what the product and market is that's being sold.

I know I am a fossil, but why do people feel a need to mark their honey hole, fishing or hunting, on some kind of app or even as a pin prick on a map? I can still remember exactly where all my past and present honey holes are or were even if they aren't honey holes anymore. Don't need GPS to find my way back.
