honey hole

Prime fishing location

A honey hole is a productive spot known mainly to the person who found it—a fishing spot where they're always biting, a hunting ground with reliable game, a thrift store that yields vintage treasures.

The term suggests both sweetness and secrecy: I'm not telling anyone where my honey hole is.

Extended to any reliable source of something good: That website is my honey hole for rare vinyl.
