Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

Does anybody know anything about the fishing in bar lake north of manistee or chief lake northeast of manistee? My girlfriends family is deciding between the two places for a cottage a week in the summer.

Chief is a small lake with houses/cottages surrounding most of it. You can pull a few decent lm bass but lots of hammer handle pike to bite u off.

Sounds like ill be driving to portage lake every morning !

let us know if you get onto Bar lake it looks like great frog water, well from google earth anyway. eventhough i don't see a launck site i'm sure there's one somewhere. this summer the whole Osen family will be staying in manistee (if all goes well) so i'll be fishing manistee lake a few times that week

Will do. I could go for a good slop session right now CABIN FEVER

I was doing pretty good with this cabin fever thing until you guys on the board started talking about it.  Now I've got it.  So I guess this is a disease that can be acquired via the internet and by touching the key board one gets infected?

A few years ago Bender, Langer and I drove to Indiana for a one day Bass fishing pre-season fish.  Maybe we need to do that again.
