harlow lake on your way to big bay is pretty good for pike. Nothing huge but alot fun. In the summer we catch crappie on greenwood resivoir outside of ishpeming.

The only good thing I have ever caught at Harlow is a buzz.

Haven't been out yet? Wow, we've had good ice for a month and a half! There are lakes everywhere, it all takes a little bit of exploring. If you drive a truck then you are golden, as we drove on Teal Lake in Negaunee for the derby Saturday and we had 16-18 inches of ice, with most of it being good black ice. Lake Independence is good to fish, but again, it almost takes a vehicle to fish the lake. You can fish Lower Harbor for splake, but be VERY CAREFUL, the ice is always shady out there. There are a few good panfish lakes in Gwinn too. Get on the DNR website and start looking at the inland lake maps and that should give you a good start.
