re: Lets have a discussion about marsh hunting

I hunted a small hole pond last weekend that was adjacent and connected to a bigger body of water, but I really don't know what's better. I prefer a small pond and it's much easier to retrieve your birds especially if you have a dog with you.

Question: do y'all prefer small potholes where the whole pond is in gun range or larger bodies and hunting the points?

Some of the best hunts in my entire life have been over 50x50yd completely landlocked potholes in January. I don't typically hunt those early season, just because around us it's more effective to hunt a little bigger water. As the season goes on, we start on bigger water, then go to more broken marsh, and then to smaller water.
