Short walk by our lil fishing lake, me and my dog

[IrishEyes]

Private Lake community for 55+ So the lake is so peaceful and serene.
No gas motors only solar or battery trolling motors and canoes.
Not open to Public of course. The lake continues to the right and goes under an old old bridge where Geese and a Sawn
gather. I won't walk the dog that way and scare them.

I could sit at that picnic table all day.

I guarantee for the majority of the time you may see 3 people say howdy and then quiet the rest of the time.
It is a for sure stress-reliever. The fish are stocked so there are some good sized ones in there.

I was an avid large mouth bass fisherman. That looks like it might have some nice ones in it. I fish for crappie, and blue gills, and sunfish, catfish too?

Bass, crappie, perch and a few cats in there on the deepest end.

If you venture this way @Paco Dennis give us a holler!

That’s my kind of retirement community!

We love it here, leave your boat on the shore and no one touches it. We have the solar unit so it's nice to know we don't have to
lug all that in and out in fear of theft.

@Paco Dennis out of curiosity I asked the property manager this morning what the biggest bass was caught
in our lake. She said a few that measured 19-20 inches have been caught usually in mid-late summer.

I caught a bass in a nearby farm pond, 21" - 3 lbs. . On a plastic worm that I fish for bass with I have caught 2 cat fish about the same size. I thought I had a 7 lb bass, but when it never jumped out of the water but stayed submerged I knew it was a catfish. Yummy meals.

We have a few lakes in our 55+community. We are not allowed to use boats, nor fish. The lakes are private to our community but are a part of the St. John Water Management District.
I think your lake is absolutely beautiful and inviting!
I enjoy having water around.

Nature lovers here in Missouri so we like the lakes to remain as nature made them so wildlife and water species can thrive. It's only
during a hot summer this lake needs help cleaning a bit. Thank You, I know I sure love it as it is.

@IrishEyes Yes, we feel the same way here in our community. We preserve our woods, lakes and wildlife.
