Steve Watkins Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 This is the first year that I have started fishing seriously and I am really hoping to do well this year at Baptiste Lake near Bancroft. This is a yearly trip to a family cottage, so I’m familiar with the layout of the lake from boating, but I have never seriously fished it. I’m going up early July and will be mainly targeting largemouth, smallmouth, and pike from a dock and a canoe or kayak. Does the lake fish well during this time period?

Flycarp Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Really good bass lake and some musky too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgm Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Theres good pike fishing there too. Used to be just muskie, but apparently there was some sort of accident and pike were released and they kinda took over. Regular baits for pike and bass work well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular baits for pike and bass work well More pike in system does mean larger muskie. Its natural for pike to over take because pike spawn much earlier than muskie.
