I fished Fox lake for the first time today. It was rainy much of the day with a high in the upper 70s. Slight breeze, but mostly really good fishing weather. There was quite a bit of mud to deal with, and you might want to bring an oar. Two gates to open and shut, and an easy property to find and navigate. The lake is down a couple of feet, but you can see how it increases in size quite a bit when it's full.
I caught 51 fish total, with 32 under 14" and culled. Biggest two fish were 3lb 7oz and 3lb 0 oz. I used 8lb mono and tossed mainly wacky Senko's, small tube worms, lizards and grubtails. Did best with the Senko's and lizards, but caught fish on everything, including buzz bait and rattle trap. The bass were often fairly deep, but not always. The soft plastic bite was very light, and the bite overall was pretty good until it started raining steadily in the afternoon, and then it pretty much shut down.

Eric,
Thanks for the report. When we electrofished the lake we shocked several fish over 5 lbs including a 9+.
Were you able to harvest some of the smaller bass?
