It has been many, many years since I was out there (Fox lake and South lake) fishing. Way back before they drained Fox lake and re-did it, the Speck bite was good. After they re-did the
lake the Speck bite was non-existent (for me) but I only tried it a couple times with no results.As far as South lake = back about the same time I ran out into South lake (in my old boat),
and saw all these little thingies on the surface of the water, I came off plane and discovered it was hydrilla, just touching the surface = I couldn't get back up on plane because of the stuff,
and had to resort to goosing the motor, then lifting the foot out of the water = dumping the hydrilla off the foot, then goosing the motor again to gain some few yards distance, then repeat
procedure until I finally got back out of the lake and back into the canal ..... Ain't been back .................... (haven't ever heard of them re=doing South lake) ......
All this happened around 2002 or so , been long long long time ..........
I have been back to Fox lake for different events, even putting my boat in and running around in the lake. Have seen a few folks fishing but couldn't say whether they were doing any good or not.
