That's a damn big pond! Reminds me of my grandparents fish pond, that thing was the size of a swimming pool! And like 8 feet deep!

With a pond like that you need some model submarines!

A couple of R/C destroyers would be good.

It would take a big fish to eat some of my subs!

You'll need a few 1/16 scale Stalag Luft type Guard towers around the perimeter, fitted with PIR activated search lights to scare off any local hungry moggies, or scuba diving foxes.. :haha: :haha:
Failing that, has anyone ever built an airsoft capable 1/16 88mm, or Pak 40 (also PIR activated, and automated!) to scare off unwanted intruders. Those who are not so coy about snaffling Koi, and eating, your cherished finny friends? :shifty: Now there's a challenge!

Have you seen how big Sturgeon can get? I've seen one when diving - it made the Pike look friendly!
