The wife will want to be within hour of the big city amenities and wife will want place where she can enjoy swimming in the lake. http://finchnastybaitco.com/

Warm climate, sort of close to the coast, close enough to College Station, just far away enough from Houston Expensive, tough bass fishing lake, overcrowded Spring-Fall by monster boats, wake boats, and jet skis. That's why I wouldn't say it. I don't even know how many times I've been on Rayburn in my lifetime, but it has to be over a thousand- can count the wake boats I've seen there on one hand. And the fishing is awesome.
