Those are sure good possible options.

TedJ said "so should I not worry about it getting bass heavy and just the kids take out the small ones they catch."

From a typical southern LMB/BG lake with normal productivity you can remove 10 to 20 lbs of LMB per acre a year. At an average .75 lbs per small LMB that is about 20 LMB per acre or 375 LMB. Adjust the #s to keep good RW (Wr) and condition.

I would intentionally let one of the small lakes be LMB crowded so as to have a trophy BG lake - great for kids fishing.
