We bought a farm about 6 months ago in East Texas in the Mineola area. It's about 300 ac, with quite a bit of water. There is an old 18 acre lake, a 7 acre lake, two 3 acre lakes and a few scattered ponds. The lakes look like they may be spring fed, with creeks flowing in. The larger lake is in series with the smaller ones, each flowing into the next. There are bass and bluegill, also some undesirable species. These lakes are deep and very old, and we are in the process of evaluating each one. Each lake will be a project, but we are looking forward to getting the entire farm "fixed up", to be used mainly for recreation. I'm sure that through the forum we will be getting needed help and advice!
