Font ramp is not usable for a bass boat. People still launching jon boats there but nothing more. Back ramp is good.

Giving up public access to land or lakes is not right. Anyone who thinks it’s a good thing is an idiot.
Guess I will keep what I catch from now on.

Personally if a lake is private there should be ZERO stocking done by TPWD via OUR tax dollars. This proves why.

Use to live in Fairfield, worked at the Power Plant in Jewett. Many good fishing trips at Fairfield catching bass up in the reeds. I remember when they stocked it with Redfish, now that was some fun trolling for Reds. Had a few rods broke catching those. It would be nice to keep the lake and not sell it to a developer. Lots of coal dust still in the ground there.


Reality. What a concept!

Ooof...that's certainly one way to burn the house down on the way out.

Grassers will denude anything green in the lake and when they run out, they will suck in any grass clippings when folks mow their lawns.

See Lake Austin.

Organize Saturday outings of hundreds of boats and everybody keeps their limits.

You will have it fished out this Spring

They have next level fish cleaning stations

So the state didn't have the funds to buy the entire property several years back, but now they do and they want to purchase the entire property. They should be able to overrule the developer then.
