Alligator in Lake Mastique
Posted on Jan 24th, 2021
A 7 foot alligator has been spotted in our lake. Stay alert and keep your doggies close.
Alligators are common throughout Florida and are usually found in fresh water lakes and ponds. Lake Mastique and the surrounding Bunche Preserve are salt water environments and alligators will usually avoid this environment.
However, alligators do, from time to time, appear in our lake and lie on our beaches.
If you observe an alligator - follow the understanding we have with that species "we will ignore you and you will ignore us." In other words - do not approach, frighten or feed the gator.

Fishing Note

Sheepshead
Archosargus probatocephalus, the sheepshead, is a marine fish that grows to 76 cm (30 in), but commonly reaches 30 to 50 cm (10 to 20 in). It is deep and compressed in body shape, with five or six dark bars on the side of the body over a gray background.
The sheepshead is found in coastal waters along the western Atlantic, from Nova Scotia to Brazil, but the greatest concentration is around southwest Florida. And, considered to be excellent table fare.
Garbage Disposals and High Rise Condominiums
Posted on Jan 19th, 2021
Garbage disposals were installed in all units of our condo; but using them is a really bad idea. With a long vertical discharge route and horizontal connections from each condo unit, there are many opportunities for waste to adhere to the sides, plug the outlet and back up into the condos. And, it happens. Grease, oil, fat, and fibrous material like celery, onion skin, potato peels and artichokes are the worst.
Please scrape all waste from plates and put it in the trash and minimize what does enter the disposal.
