steel traps out to the side baited with sardines and ritz crackers....won't take long to thin out the coons and cats. 
I have a new 8000 gallon pond, and I got lots of coons as I live by a major river, and I like my coons, nothing wrong with them, but I know before in my smaller pond they would still get the small goldfish in 3 feet of water, they just sit at the side and catch them. Not sure what kinda coons you Americans and others have, but the ones here are mighty big, and when they bring the entire family for a picnic, you are in deep sh*t.
But I vote for the electric fence, thats what I am putting it, a thin wire is easy to hide, but I am using an electric fence meant for horses not coons, and I think after a shock with it, they won't be coming back for more, lol.

yeah, but if you leave it on during the day by accident, a horse-type electric fence would do a number on a neighborhood kid trying to get his frisbee out of the pond.....
i must admit i would pay to see that though......is that bad?

lots of great ideas that kinda make my pond protection look lame.
I've got a sheet of 3/4" clear perspex that sits about 1" below the water level. Ive drilled a lot of 5/8" holes in the perpex and you cant see it at all. I use to loose lots of fish to egrets and cats, but haven't lost any fish for a long time.
cheaper than shotgun shells anyway!
