loaded question ..... let me paint you a scenario that says "NO"
I led a group of 4 vehicles to a new part of the lake nobody has ice fished before. Saw a couple shacks set up by the "locals" ..... so set up at the same depth between them. 4 tents, 4 trucks, 2 shacks ..... must be a good spot right? .......... nope.
A half hour we are there, and more people start coming onto the ice, see 2 shacks, 4 tents and 4 trucks in one area ......... must be a good spot right? ....... nope
more people come along .... holy crap .... must be a great spot ....
20 minutes later ...... another 2 trucks come onto the ice and see 2 shacks, now 10 tents, and 6 vehicles .......... fishing must be hot over there right? ... nope.
What's the moral of the story ..... locals dropped their shacks in a poor place? We thought locals knew best?
Nope - moral of the story is locals are smarter than we are ...... clearly they set up fake shacks in a lousy area to attract us city folks. And having set the bait .... by 11 am there were 12 groups of city slickers fishing a dead flat area of the lake. Sneaky locals !!!!!
