Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Oh the Horror of it all! (JHAP, don't look)

Dave, I don't know about being an iron man, but I only had help setting the net the first day, the rest of the time it was a one man show.

That lime green bucket in the boat is 25 gallons IIRC. What you are describing is what I did, after a false start the first day. I tried picking up the net from the lead end, thinking that some fish would swim out. I quickly gave up on that idea and did it like you described.

In 95 deg temp and 70% humidity I don't know where all the water came from that was in my clothse; me or the pond.

The little boat is rated for 525#, so it's a balancing act as well. But, it sure is easy to get in and out of small ponds, and it's wider than any 10' jon boat that I could find. At 125#, it's very easy to move around. I can't believe that it's rated for 5 hp.
