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.

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.

Quacker1: "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? :)"
Sorry, mate, that would make it too easy. :)

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. :)

Maybe Bing has the answer? Zooming in, I see several reefs.

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 ;)

I seen some post about a "Bings Reef" on Alton lake. Is anyone familiar with this particular part of the lake and where it is located?
