Be careful with those ponds of ambiguous ownership. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the last time I stopped to look at a small pond, a fat lady jumped our of her truck and started chasing me through the woods. Luckily, the trail started going up a steep hill and she got winded running on her short, pudgy legs. I was able to out-distance her and get away.
You definitely want to keep the location of that pond a secret. There are some serious bucketeers in New York. Especially from Brooklyn. They'll have that pond emptied into a few coolers by the end of the summer, leaving you with nothing but small sunfish.

Since you can see the pond very clearly from the interstate anyone looking to clean it out probably would have already. The reason it hasn't been decimated by bucketeers is likely because it is private property. I sort of suspected it was, as one street that provided access Had no parking/trespassing signs, but there were no signs where I parked and accessed the water and the gate was wide open (oh yeah, a fence surrounded the whole pond...) so I was planning to play the clueless guy from out of state if confronted by either a property owner or authority. If I wasn't only planning to fish for 15-20 minutes I would not have bothered.
