I concur with CJ. If the pond has a feeder, I've placed it in front of the feeder if the target species were the ones eating the pellets.

I stake the lead at the shore side, anchor the basket end, using a decoy on the anchor line. I may lose some fish, but I pick it up from the basket end. That way I don't have to pick up the whole lead and put it in the boat.
