Names like this are usually made up, I have a reef on Kabetogama called Mel’s reef, named after a friend, my group is the only one who calls it that :)
Look at the MN DNR website maps if you can’t find some good options/candidates then...I don’t know what to tell ya ;)

There is a spot that shall always remain nameless (ok, well maybe it has a name) on Alton that absolutely loads up with fish, both bass and 'eyes. I only encountered it after watching (from camp, alas) two canoes catch more fish than anyone would believe one afternoon and evening. It was nuts...the next day, on the way home, I paddled over the area with a deep diver and figured out what they were fishing.
I won't say any more, but it can be found with a TD11. Get trolling. :)

There is probably a reason why no one is speaking of the location. I suggest you do a simple search for Alton Lake for depths and contours and pick out reefs and go fish them and find out for yourself. Maybe you'll stumble upon a spot that's even better than this "Bing's Reef". Just because fish are there one day doesn't mean they will be there the next.

I just checked Alton out on the DNR LakeFinder site, looks like there's plenty of reefs to check out. Looks like a nice lake.
I don't have any TD11's, you won't give up the location so what camp site were you using? :)

Going into the deep woods is always an adventure, full of humor, drama and normally someone's blood, at least when you go with me!

Sorry, mate, that would make it too easy. :)

Check out Navionics webpage. Find Alton Lake. It looks like there are several reefs and bars breaking into deep water on the lake that have great potential.
Good fishing.
