at that pond there is none... ton of smaller ones and a few big ones.... thin out some of these little ones so the rest grow bigger.. smallest ones we kept ran bout 14 inches
John,
Planning on heading to private pond myself on Saturday. I hope there is good ice there. I haven't been back there since we had those couple of near 60 degree days last month. I drove by the other day and notice a pile of Christmas trees sitting on top. My guess is that it's frozen over again. I am going to call the owner on my way home from work tonight.

went today was good 5- 6 inches of ice, got a bunch of small gills a few small bass 1 decent bass bout 2 1/2 pounds and a 13.5 inch crapie that was just shy of 2 lbs
damn sure had me nervous all morning thos with ice cracking as it was still freezing, once it warmed up a bit the cracking stopped thank god
Ice was 11 inches on private pond. I brought home a dozen Crappie. They weren't all that big though. At times the depth finder was chock full of fish. I couldn't even see my jig in all that mess. I might take Thursday off of work and head back out there in the morning. Depends on the temps and if I feel like getting up and going.
