The Hotspot section

[The Quadfather]

Somehow I need a refresher on where on the site to see the "Hotspots" that people have marked for various lakes.
I am aware of how to mark hotspots when doing a report, but I don't see them when I read about a lake.

There's a couple ways. First from the tutorial:

GPS Hotspots – This tab gives you access to the Fishing Hotspot Navigator and means even if you don’t have a GPS unit you can still use the Hotspots. This tool allows you to view hotspots, boat ramps and facilities, and print them out. Use the drop-down menus to find your body of water. You can also use the Export to GPS symbol to export the GPX file to your computer. To print, use your browser’s print function. Use the map controls on the left to zoom in/out and pan left/right/up/down. Change the map type from the upper right options of Map, Satellite, and Terrain.


The other thing to know is not all reports will have hotspots, only those anglers have marked. If a report has a hotspot it will have a prominent "Hotspot" icon in black and gold text on the right side of the report. Just click on it. Here's an example from Fish lake:

Finally, on the front page of the site you can access ALL the newly posted Hotspots from the square box Hotspot Link "New Fishing Hotspots" - it's the far right report box located to the left of the little video boxes on the front page. This links to the last 30 days x 2.
