I also heard hybrids were there until my first visit years ago when I roamed the whole pond and , like you, saw that the deepest was 12-14 ft and I knew this was false. Hybrids need a larger deeper lake, not a pond, to sustain them...thus Spruce Run.
Cat fishing at Assunpink can be good to very good. I have had success working the upper 2/3 of the pond in 5-8 ft of water. Stay away from the back, too many weeds, but the middle, early or late, not tried at night, has been productive for me. I use "ripe"shrimp as it stays on the hook better. Gotta weed through those bulls...they are well established there. Good channel cats though also. I have chummed these areas in the late afternoon prior to fishing as well with better success. Throw the bait out in a large area and come back in a short time frame 0.5-1.5 hours, set up and hold on
