27-acre lake near NEW IPSWICH. The lake tops out around 7 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Traced from the shoreline, DAM SITE19 runs 27 acres with 0.9 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.4 mi. The water lies in Hillsborough County. For a second option, WATER LOOM POND lies 2 mi north.
Spring yellow perch on DAM SITE19 hold shallow, usually 2 to 7 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 2 to 7 ft in summer, 2 to 7 ft once it turns cold.

The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm.
