My wife and I are currently looking to buy a house that has some acres along with a 100% private pond on the property. Finding a piece of property with a private pond, as well as a house that we both really like, is not a very easy thing find here in Greenville, SC area. My wife had the idea that if we couldn't find a house with a pond I could maybe buy a nice Bass Boat to take to all the numerous big fishing lakes that surround our area here in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mtns. I grew up my whole life basically fishing smaller 1 to 6 acres ponds - I have never spent anytime fishing the bigger lakes, so there's a side of me that wonders if I would enjoy it as much as I enjoy fishing the smaller ponds. I would love to get some feedback on the Pros & Cons of fishing the small ponds compared to fishing the bigger lakes. Am I crazy for not jumping on my wife's suggestion to buy a nice new Bass Boat or should I hold out until we find a house/private pond combo that we want to buy?
