I live on a 100 acre pond and have 200 feet of frontage. No body has drilled a hole at all this winter. I usually fish it a few times when im too lazy to go anywhere else and a couple of the neighbors fish it sometimes. Not this winter, it has been dead quiet. Its shallow and mostly bass and pickerel but the lady next door caught a 8.1 lb largemouth bass last summer. Maybe I will fish it after the rain, maybe not.
