Comment by John Sheehan on November 22, 2014 at 8:44am: Shepherds lake (POND) does not get busy this time of year Ken .I'd like to have a blowup of that google map of shepherds you have . Those particularly dark areas where the depth changes are closest together ,are the areas I especially want to concentrate on . Shepherds is only 72 acre lake and is shaped like a bowl. Lots of weeds left I'll bet still .Gonna probably concentrate more on 10-20 depths as that's what I've done best on late in the year here but who knows ,maybe those fish will be up shallower .We'll see .

How many acres is fav little lake of yours?

Comment by John Sheehan on November 22, 2014 at 8:33am: Carl, this pic is from 2010. It's supposed to be warmer Tuesday and yes ,brother Greg and I have designs on going to this lake . We've done well with spoons and crankbaits before here for good sized Pickerel especially .The Gills are nice sized and hope for 9" and over .Crappies are good too.
