  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Fish Wild Cove Pond to its features, not to its size. A boat opens water the bank never reaches, but is not needed.
