Found a large spider in our pool next to some hedges. Bright, candy-red all over, except for the yellow circle on its abdomen. It didn't look like any picture I've found. Is this poisonous?
Sorry, no pic yet.
Huge red spider
You really need to post an image for a positive i.d. - That aside, with the exception of one small family (Uloboridae), all spiders are venomous. However, only a very few species are truly dangerous to humans, and from your description, it is highly unlikely that yours would fall into that category.
