A large Carp/Goldfish has been seen in the pond recently.  While only one carp has been seen, if it finds a mate, this could spell big trouble for Lake Pointe’s Pond.  Carp tend to overpopulate and outcompete the Bluegill and Bass for food, and these bottom-feeding fish stir up the sediment on the bottom, making the water murky.  Over time, the fish we have fun catching will die off, with only the Carp remaining. Some well-intentioned person likely released a pet goldfish, which are carp,  into the pond. Please never release a non-native fish or amphibian into the pond.

Getting rid of Carp once they get established is expensive. So, we are looking for your help from our local fishermen to catch and kill any Carp found in the pond. We will be offering a $25 “bounty” for any Carp caught and killed.  Once caught, simply send a photo of the fish with our pond in the background to us at lakepointeestates@gmail.com with your name and address to collect the reward. 

Fishing on the pond is reserved for residents and guests. Trespassing continues to be a problem for us. Left unchecked, trespassers will deplete the number of fish in our pond which could result in costly fish restocking. Additionally, these visitors also tend to be less respectful of our property and leave behind trash, fishing line and fishing lures. Please be sure to carry a Lake Pointe “bobber” with you when fishing down by the pond so we can identify who has the right to be there and who does not. If you need a new “ bobber” please contact us at lakepointeestates@gmail.com. If you are willing to help keep the pond for private use, please politely inform trespassers
