  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. This is tidal water: the state of the tide decides where fish sit, so plan the session around it. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. The shape of Uncle Israels Pond decides where the fish sit.
