I tend to agree with LagrangeDave, give him an escape route. And he'll leave on his own. Alternatively, a load of birdshot would take the head off, without ruining the coping or killing a neighbor.
And the lesson I take away from this thread is: don't let the pool get all green and nasty. Winterize it, and pull a cover over it. Unless you are going to drop some crappie and catfish in there, and let it go natural.

How about a teter totter made of a 2x6 that feeds into a bucket ? Bait it up so he can crawl past the pivot point and then he will slide down the board and into the bucket. Put some lard on it so as soon as he crosses the pivot he will slide into the bucket.

Agreed! If you can't see the bottom, you probably need new water anyway. Drain it, get turtle and other stuff out, clean it, fill it back up.

Sense the pool sounds like it isn't being used and has turned into a mosquito factory, why not just drain the pool?

Or just leave the dang turtle alone, he ain't bothering anybody. He'll leave when he's ready.

Bleach jug with a small treble hook attached to a 10 inch leader. Small piece of beef or deer meat. He will swallow it and you will see your jug bobbing like a cork. Get the grease ready.
