    Fox Chain

    Hitting the Chain this Sunday. Not sure why but we are. Any info for bass out there? I usually fish it in the spring with our HS bass fishing team. I know things will be really different. Hope to be on by 6 a.m. and off by noon. We are putting in on the Fox at Maple Grove. Thanks in advance.

    The wind was making it rough and the weekend boaters won't help. There are some of the 'cigarette"style boats operated by careless speedfreaks that are scary ... we go on the Chain only to get some family time on the water and don't try to fish there. If I did look for fish I would get out early.

    Hit the chain at 6 a.m. got off around noon. Had one 12" bass on top water near a dock. Tough day out there. Boat traffic sucked but we kinda expected it.

    Had a similar day on the Chain Sunday. Couple short bass and a stud catfish. Just one of those days when the bigger fish didn't want to play. Was a pleasure meeting you at the launch ramp. Always love talking about boats. Good luck with your HS team!

    Thanks Waldo. You have a nice boat and now I have boat Envy. But just checked my savings account, I am good with my current boat. HAHAHA. Hope to see you around.
