Here are some images of my pond. :clap: Well, its not mine, but being as its 100 feet from my front door and I am the only one allowed to fish it... I call it mine
This is the pond when it was full. This was take with my old camera last year. It's about 5 acres, with the deepest point being 15 feet, at full pool.
This is the lower end of my pond. Its the shallow end. Depths when the pool is full are around 5 foot. The predominant cover in this area are lily pads. You can see them here. They arent quite all up yet though as this is early spring last year. Also you can see the beaver dam to the right of the image.
And this is the same area now, with the water 4+ feet lower than normal. You can see the beaver dam very well here. You can also see that well defined channel leading up to the dam. I really had no idea that was there as when the water is up the lilly pads are so thick around this area my crappy old eagle 128 on my jon boat didnt read anything but garbage. This picture was taken yesterday with my new camera. I love the pictures it takes. Its a Kodak Z812IS that I got from the insurance when my old camera was wiped out in the ocean.
This is another view of the beaver dam and the channels leading up to it. This, too, was taken yesterday.
here is a laydown on the shallow end. This image was taken when the water was at full pool.
This is the same area as the above image take yesterday. Ive marked alot of these features.
This is a better view of the shallow end taken yesterday. I had no idea so many humps, holes and channels existed down there. I also didnt realize that many stumps were there either. I really love that "Y" in the channel. I marked the point of that and am so ready for the water to rise up over it again. :thumbup01:
The next time I fish this pond I wont be in a johnboat. I will be in a canoe. I just sold my 14' john boat yesterday in order to buy a 15' canoe that I can just carry down to the pond or toss on my roof to fish the other small ponds in the area. Having a canoe instead of a john boat will open up dozens of new places to fish for me. I can NOT wait! :clap:
And well.. thats my pond in a nutshell. The biggest fish I have caught so far from it was about 6lbs. However, the biggest I have hooked made my 6lbr look small. Unfortunately she broke me off in the pads but she's still there and I still keep trying to get her to bite again. :thumbup01:
