Land was bought w/o the lake being there. We built it and that was the cost. We have almost a thousand acres between my father and me. It is actually a little much for us to handle. We don't have a whole lot of people on it and it has become a little like punching the time clock on taking fish out. We have taken out 600 bass in the last 12 months and are just now starting to see progress. It is also going to be more expensive to maintain the bigger you get. We also have a 6-acre lake that was already on the property and that is more my size to manage imo. I would rather fish it than the bigger one. Of course that is because it has bigger fish. The more east Tx or south of Dallas you go you will pay more /acre on average. Especially in east Tx. Have you ever thought of going across just into OK. You will pay a lot less/acre. Just a thought.
