Hey Pat. He had a diver come out and do a recon of the pond. The deepest water is supposedly 12 feet. It's a big donut shaped BOW with a fairly large wooded island in the middle as well as a smaller one. This area is only about 12' mean sea level. That depth is where you typically hit water. It's also spring fed. Water is about 10" above the normal full pool line right now and very turbid at the moment. Maybe 6" visibility.

Update: went back out there this evening and gave the owner some contact information that was passed to me (thanks again to those who replied). Got some more information on the pond as well. Being an old soul pond, it has apparently developed a diverse residency. The big LMB recently caught was subject to a big bluegill that was also caught in the pond. They have also caught catfish (species unknown), crappie (species unknown), bowfin and have an occasional visit by a 10 foot gator.

I'm planning on taking the kayak this weekend and see just what I can catch.
