eddie, has the small pond water always been muddy? like bobad says, the good side of that is no excessive water weeds.
eddie, your typo "ten million other poople all on top of each other" made me laugh really hard (cause i know all about S.F. and avoid going there as much as possible).
how are the kids with cleaning the catfish? i remember my first time, i was about 10, and actually didnt mind even as a kid. my dad (santa claus) taught me the icepick, board, and pliers method for skinning. those are the perfect eating size IMO.
