Hey guys, anyone been on the Fox Chain recently? Dad and i are going to try to get out for one last time on Tuesday and would love to hear what your thoughts are on attacking them. I use suckers, but would rather cast if they are still chasing baits. Also, any advice on a boat launch, clean hotel, and good eats…I have not fished the chain in over 10 years. Thank you for any info you might have. tight lines, Dan

I suggest the rib eye sandwich at Steitz's on Bluff and a few cold ones...your Dad will love it, fish, or no fish. Have a good time.

Check that, Steitz is closed on Tuesdays. The Sand Bar beef sandwich on Marie is pretty good.
Marie is a good choice to try this time of year anyway.

And...I launch out of the Thirsty Turtle. Good enough launch, a little shallow, but your boat wont look like you just drove through the jungle when you pull it out.
