I currently live in Kansas City and like to Bass fish but I am not a tournament guy. I'm considering moving to either Dallas or Austin TX for job reasons and was wondering about Bass lakes within say a 30 min to 1 hr drive of each city for casual Bass fishing. I'm well aware of Lake Fork North of Dallas but what other options do you have and how is the Austin area different than the Dallas area? I've never fished in Texas before. I have a 1850 Ranger Reata so bigger lakes aren't a problem.

Thanks
