@RHYBAK you will definitely catch us in Smith Bay!! That is where we have been doing the best lately. I do not have the pontoon anymore. I have a blue Lowe FM165. It's a little older but in great shape. Hope to be able to drift/troll a little better compare to the pontoon.

We are behind McKenzie Island in Fox Narrows.  Most people do not use Fox narrows.  There are a few prop rocks through the narrows.  Locals and well worn travelers of the Kipawa know they are there.  Weekend boat warriors do not stand a chance.  We average one to three boats a year to our dock that need a place to replace their props or need a tow.  Respectful travelers slow down and we appreciate that greatly. I always smile when I see a boat rushing through the narrows with their strong wakes, pretty boat, a dozen people on it, engine screaming, stereo blaring, beer drinking, then BOOM!!!!  It's a sound now that I know inside my cabin or back in the bush. LOL! We had canoer's stop this year to let us know about a rock pile they "found".   :)  ;D

Thanks! I was just being curious, thought maybe there was another area of the Lake called "the fox".
