Deep hole of 21 feet on the point to the right of the very steep boat ramp where the resident tarzan swing go's out over the water. Very good choice for the second pond ( Peck Pond 1st )to freeze up north with very little pressure for a steady supply of flags for the angler and young people that you should be mentoring. Always a 5 pounder here at first ice. Work the edges around the deepest hole with Swedish pimple jigs dressed with a meal worm for a nice creel of yellow perch for a tasty winter fish fry.

The southern end has the man made earthen dam and the old boy scout camp beach area and there is a good size island with a healthy amount of largemouth bass staging there. Night fishing after the weeds emerge is excellent for top water Jitter-Bugs, 3/8ths and 5/8 ths straight or broken back and hula poppers in Leopard Green are hot. Buzz baits, single or double blade catch the larger bass. Blue /Black plastics in jigs, worms or lizards rule on the stained water.
