Some of your comments are hard to read. It's hard not to get attached to a place that's got everything you want. It looks like the main concern is the depth so that'll be my first question. Just to clarify, I have no clue how deep the pond is. I was only guessing that based on the push pole by the boat. As far as vegetation being an issue; and again I don't have the info from the property owner what measures he's taken in the past if any, but the only vegetation I see stops about 5-10 from the shore. Makes fishing from shore with an exposed hook difficult but doesn't seem like a big cause of concern(to my uneducated self).
Just for my education, is the major concern of a "shallow" pond(6-8 feet) the over abundance of aquatic vegetation? I guess the other issue being maintaining adequate depths during droughts.
The oldest aerial view I can find of the pond looks just like the more recent photos. I don't see any changes in size or noticeable vegetation.
