Coffee in hand, two fishing rods, bucket of fresh worms, and a small pond filled with fish—what more could a fisherman want early in the morning? 
Raymond caught at least a dozen bream (or blue gill, as I’ve been informed). He was heading home to provide a fish cookout for friends this evening. Thank you for thinning out the lake fish from our pond! 12 down, over 100 to go.
Our gardener, Pat, tells us that he’s actually seen a bass, at least 16 inches long, in the pond. Who knew???
So, you’re welcome to bring your rod and reel, and fish the lazy way at Lookout Point. Catch & release (into Lake Hamilton) OR take ‘em home. When Ray & I created a luxury inn with lots of amenities, we did not know just how many amenities Lookout Point Lakeside Inn would actually include! Ha…

One of mother nature’s unexpected “gifts” is a water fountain “pond” filled with brim. I’m not a fisherperson, but it’s those lake fish with a blue spot on their sides. There’s probably 100 brim in the pond, plus the 30 goldfish. We are continually inviting guests to fish the brim, and release them the lake—-or take them home in their own cooler. I’m not cooking the fish!
Today our wonderful guest Raymond enjoyed some fishing in our pond, and caught 3 brim in a short amount of time. Yeah! The one goldfish snagged was happily released to swim with his friends.
If you want some easy fishing, come on to Lookout Point. Pull up a chair, sit in the shade, and fish away. Sip on a glass of wine or beer, and RELAX.
I haven’t figured out how to have a fishing tournament in our pond. Any ideas?

It was a joy to be a part of the Jennings wedding last Sunday at Lookout Point. Katie looked gorgeous in her gown as she walked down the aisle on her father’s arm. Her daughter Analee walked in front with her miniature bouquet. She was a beautiful little angel!
Katie’s brother played the guitar as Katie walked down the aisle. The ceremony took place in the garden near the waterfall. The couple and Analee participated in a sand union using white, black and pink sand. The sand unity was just lovely, and the perfect touch for their wedding.
Congratulations Katie and Joshua on your marriage! Best wishes for a long happy life together!
