Big Pond is a lake in Virginia, near Bath County.
In Bath County, Big Pond is listed as a lake; my opening stop would be one promising part of the lake, and I would stay with it until I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one straightforward starting zone until I get a useful clue from the first adjustment before I add more distance or tackle.
Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for Big Pond, so I would leave the figures unstated until a reliable lake-specific record provides the figure and use one sheltered starting zone until I get a clear read from the first adjustment.
The available fish information for Big Pond includes Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, so my opening plan would use one clear target around one short area near the launch and hold there until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water. A compact spinnerbait, crankbait, and Texas-rigged plastic cover the basic bass approaches around one nearby area near the launch on Big Pond; I would stay with them until I get a useful clue from the nearby water.
For a first trip to Big Pond, I would fish one manageable area near the launch long enough to judge the plan, then change depth before changing every bait after I get a clear read from the nearby water. After I find a repeatable bite in the first setup, I would give one easy-to-read piece of water more time on Big Pond instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I get a useful answer from the first setup, I would remember what worked around one promising piece of water and begin the next trip to Big Pond with that same clue.
