Too many FIsh
Hello everyone.
I have fish in my pond (comet gold fish) that I want to get rid of. They have been spawning and I need to get rid of about 10 or so. I have several friends that want to add more fish into thier ponds . I tried the old fashion net on a pole and after about 1 hr. I had 3 of the little buggers out. I was hoping someone could recommend a much faster and easier way to catch the fish. My neighbor's son offered to come over with his rod and real but I dont think this is such a great idea (lol) Any advice would be greatly appreaciated. Thank you |

I usually remove most of the water to catch my fish. |

Did you drain the pond down? Less water usually easier to catch. ~ jan

When I put a net into my pond they all come racing over to see if there is any food in it. :-) |

Thank you I do have to say... even catching 3 in an hour is pretty good. Why I don't have comet goldfish, they're too dang fast. Breeding wakins usually throws out a single tail now and again. This year I have one, so while I was feeding the lilies, I was in the pond, water drained down... and still could not catch him as I didn't want to damage my plants. I'll probably wait till spring when the water temps are cooler and there aren't any lily pads up yet. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |

I went to the local Fishing shop and bought a cast net.. I can lay
the net in the pond and after awhile add food then scope them all up at 1 time.. release the ones I want to keep back to the pond and bucket the others.. Thanks for all the good ideas.. |

Sounds like that's the best idea yet! Good luck re-homing. Seems my tidbits list always finds takers for all fish, as the giver rarely ask me to run the ad a 2nd time. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
