1. A system operable by a pump to move water from a selectable depth in shallow water of up to 15 to 70 feet to preserve fish in a vessel located on a body of water that has a bed, the system comprising:
(a) a retractable tube having a water intake that descends to a selectable depth in the body of water and is drawn back from depth;
(b) a shallow water anchor assembly having a bed-penetrating pole that is configured to carry the water intake to the selectable depth and back again;
(c) a strainer or filter on the water intake of the retractable tube; and
(d) a depth indicator that indicates the depth of the anchor assembly or the water intake of the retractable tube in the body of water;
wherein when the bed-penetrating pole is embedded in the bed of the body of water, the anchor assembly limits movement of the water intake and the vessel away from the bed-penetrating pole's location.
