20-acre pond near Freedom. The lake tops out around 13 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.
The outline encloses 20 acres, worked by 0.7 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. It sits in Carroll County. Loon Lake sits 0 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 3 to 13 ft. Through summer count on 3 to 13 ft; the winter hold is 3 to 13 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 4 ft of water and rates prime come winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 13 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 13 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 4 to 13 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |

Spring puts yellow perch in skinny water — 3 to 12 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 4 to 13 ft; cold water stacks them in 4 to 13 ft.

A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm covers the summer program.

The summer box starts with a drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig.

Early season largemouth bass use the shallows, holding in 2 to 10 ft. Summer is a 4 to 13 ft game here, winter a 4 to 13 ft one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 2 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Spinnerbait, Chatterbait |

When the water first warms, white perch slide up into 3 to 13 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 4 to 13 ft, winter 4 to 13 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 12 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a small spinner rig drifted or a 1/8 oz jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.
