Bancroft/Baptiste Lake????
Anyone ever been to Baptiste Lake in Bancroft? What can you tell me about it. I'm going this weekend, I know what kind of fish are supposed to be there, but that's about it.
You can take the man out of the woods but you can't take the woods out of the man.

I went there this summer once. It's an awesome lake.
Didn't catch too many big bass, and the weather was pretty crappy... but we had a few huge pike break us off. I had one bass hit my Matzuo Spit'N'Sputter topwater bait and he had to be atleast 8lb's. But he felt the hook and didn't hit again.
I can't wait to try the lake again next summer.

Bancroft/Babtiste lake
Babtiste is a great lake for bass and musky and if you have time head into elephant lake not deep but when the fish are on the bite its also good!!Drift through the weed beds with a minnow.
Ive fished a few tournaments on those two lakes. There are some giant bass in there. Ive only fished mid summer so i can't help you on fall fishing.
The walleye population was hurting a few years back, the cottagers association there has been helping it along with w few programs and I have heard it is helping.
I've hit some serious Northern action in some of the open water weed beds!!
Its a great all-round lake
