Best place to live in Texas

Opinions on best centrally located place to live in Texas for:

- best LMB fishing
- best all-around fishing (LMB, stripers, smallmouth, crappie)

The less developed, the better.

For me it would be the area around Rockwall. Close enough to the city and close to all the east texas lakes

See now Brother -- You trying to start some mess!!!

Between Toledo&Rayburn if only my wife thought so.

Same here, she is so unreasonable.

Smallmouth-Belton
Lmouth and best all around-move to Emory.
Its right in the middle between Tawakoni and Fork

Cooper, 45 minutes to 1 1/2 any direction to some great fishing, Monticello Fork, Tawakoni, Hubbard,Lavon, Texoma,Hugo, that's only a few

I lived in Palestine for 17 years, there are many lakes within 45 mins, including Richland-Chambers, Palestine, Athens, Limestone, Fairfield, Houston County, and Jacksonville. And Cedar Creek is just a little further, and Rayburn is within 1 1/2 hours. There are too many lakes to name that are within 2 hours or less.

I'll second Emory area. Next to Fork and the quality of lakes within a hours drive is unreal.

Good info, thanks.

I like the Yantis area...I can be at any boat ramp on Fork in five minutes. 15 minutes to Sulphur Springs, Emory or Quitman. Lake Winnsboro, Quitman, Tawakoni and Cooper just a few minutes more.
