Hi Betty: I can help you catch the fish, but I don't need any myself. I bet if you put FREE on Craig's List, you will have loads of replies.

HELP! One of my neighbors has a backyard pond and recently moved, and the house/property is just waiting to be bulldozed (probably in July 2007). They were unable to catch any of the goldfish in their pond. I've got water gear from work, but this is at least a two person operation. I offered to try to catch as many of the goldfish as I could. They drained as much of the water as they could the last day there were there, but we had severe weather after that date including snow/freezing etc. By now the pond has refilled with rainwater. If someone has any seine nets, this should be a quick operation and safer than if I tried this on my own. MOST of the waterlilies have been removed, but a check a couple days ago showed lots of vegetation that I can work on removing. My neighbors would like some of the goldfish, but there are probably 50 or so in there. I have permission from the developer to remove these fish. Anyone want to help me with this? I suppose the remaining fish could be auctioned off to benefit the club???? I bcc'd the neighbor for input on this....but I want to try to save these fish asap. My own goldfish are still outside in my mini-pond and are doing fine, so I'm sure these goldfish are still live in the pond. The property is in Bothell near Canyon Park on 39th Ave SE (land of the developer!)
