No-one is gonna tell you anything about those ponds. I have always done good with pink and orange/green moon jigs, up there, for pan fish. As far as where to go and what depth to start at, thats something any good fisherman should be able to do on his own, and something you'll have to do as well. You could look for a group of people fishing in the same area and join them but some people don't like that.
Last year I brought a friend up that had never been there before and he said he wanted to catch largemouth through the ice because he never has before. I know where the panfishing holes are but I have never targeted bass ice fishing so I had no clue where to go. So what we did was, my buddy started drilling holes about 20 ft apart and I went to each one with the underwater camera. We had to pack up and move twice but the second time we hit the jackpot we were right over a school of 13" to 17" largemouth. My friend Chris and I had the time of our lives catching those bass in 35ft of water. We even had a Musky just under my hole, probobly saw us pulling up all the bass and thought he could grab one on the way up. Where ever you go good luck and don't be afraid to try new things.
