Responding to this part:

I will go far because I can easily, being fit and athletic from bicycle racing, I'll cover a lot of distance and I auger a lot of holes hunting structure or schools of fish. But, that doesn't mean I'm one who "went well out of their way to want a piece of solitude" because the opposite is true for me, so how do I communicate that, particularly with most people likely assuming I want solitude as you suggest?
That's a likely and reasonable assumption and likely the case most often. But, we still need the creative minds here to think of how to communicate appreciation of either solitude or visitors. I appreciate visitors, so that's harder to communicate.
Sure, obvious communication would be for me to join others clustered at the ramp, but that's not the answer for me because I will be fishing where I find the school of fish or structure that looks encouraging and I do mean "looks" because my Marcum LX-9 will show me charts that hint at good structure and then I drop down it's video camera to actually look at the structure and that also gives me insight to better interpret the charts.
Then I might be, as you say, "well away from others," but I really do want them to come fish with me and they should, not only because I intend for them to be invited and not only because I'll likely have plenty of food for guests, but because I will most likely be fishing directly over a school of fish!
This post is in context with my previous post of me asking if anyone knows a way to communicate that I appreciate others joining to ice fish near me or with me and that they are invited and I like the company of people ice fishing.
Here's a seed of an idea on flag communication. When I was a child, whenever we enter into the territorial waters of a foreign nation on our family boat, we fly a yellow flag to signal their customs and military authorities that we have entered and are seeking customs to authorize port entry.
The idea is a color flown as a flag is that it can be seen from great distance, so those keeping distance out of respect can still benefit from the communication by flag because otherwise the distance and logical assumptions hinder communication.
But, what will work for us to communicate preference of solitude or company invited?
Any ideas?
