All great answers and questions, so here are some answers to some of the questions.
1. This is a brand new community with about 450 lots but only about 10 homes built as of now with no one living full time, so no goals or budgets have been set as of yet.
2. The major difference in the last three years is lack of management and feeding along with a "catch and release" policy/recommendation. Pictures from three years plus show very fat bass but lately all the pictures I have seen and all the bass I have caught have large shoulders but very skinny belly's. Most of the folks thinks these look great, but I see a fish with a very low WR.
3. The lakes are not connected but some have a creek running through them or can be connected during a flood event, maybe.
4. The only species I know of are the LMB, Crappie, BG, and maybe some BC.
5. The lakes are in far east Texas, just south of Woodville in a community called Lakeland Ranch.
I have not heard of a lot of small bass, nor an excessive amount. I don't think the bass have had enough time to overpopulate just yet.
I am currently looking for a professional that might be interested in coming out and giving a seminar, so recommendation are welcome, and I know there will be a cost.
Thanks again for all the advice, and I will keep looking on here for more.
