well after reading here and talking with local biologist i think i have a plan for now. even though when the water is high one of the smaller lakes is accesible to the larger it is a minimal access. i am going to allow the bass to stay there and maybe even add some from the big lake and make that a great bream fishing lake. i am going to take the other small lake and intensly manage it for large bass. i will do what i can with the large lake and continue to take out all bass caught in hopes that it will be enough. i also plan to add fatheads or shad to both the 6.5 acre lake and the 1.5 acre lake that will be for bass fishing. maybe the following year i can have the lake elecroshocked to see where we need to go from there. i guess i should have done more in the small lakes before but it is just more fun to fish the big one since it takes more than thirty min to get around it. ill add cover and forage and remove what i can and that should get me going. i really just want to catch 2 and 3 lb bass and though it would be nice i don't need a 10 lb er just yet.
