  Digging out a pond

If you have an understanding wife, you could do what a buddy of mine did. He bought an old crane at auction and picked up a drag line bucket. That way he could deepen his pond. But, you have to have an understanding wife in order to pursue that route.

  Digging out a pond

Well, if you have teenagers, you could do what my dad would have done. He would have handed me a snorkle, a shovel and a bucket. He never would spend the money on rental equipment when he had a teenage son who had friends.

From the way it sounds, I'd try some of the drag line options people have listed or hire it out to someone that knows how to handle their equipment in the marsh conditions.
