Missing Pond Comets

[BMW Rider]

Its been over a week now and I haven't caught it. There were signs that it was still around early last week, but none since. I did find its lair and four of the six missing fish. It had stashed them for later enjoyment. I used one of them to bait the trap, but the mink seems to have moved on. I will probably wait until spring now before replacing them just the same. I plan to rebuild the pond then too, so my winter tank is going to go empty this year. I had those fish for five years and they were getting to be a pretty good size, all were between 6 - 10 inches. #@&*!$ Mink.
