Howdy, Buz, and welcome to the Forum.

Aeration would be my best bet if I were you. We had a recent thread discussing muck removal which mentioned some of the other (more expen$ive) options; see When is it better to just drain?

It sounds like you could use a better predator for the small sunfish than the Cats. Any evidence of other fish species present?

Was last Summer's disgustiness brown (presumed silt) or green (presumed algal)?
