I see your from IL. If you want to go to the north woods and rent out a cabin, I used to fish St Germaine, Green Lake and the Chippewa Flowage. Excellent bodies of water. However I finally learned how to properly bass fish  about 6 years ago, and I now only travel to S.E Wisconsin. Fishing right over the border is phenomenal. There are many lakes that have multi-species, and are filled with fish.

If I were coming at that time of year, I would without a doubt head for the Mississippi River pools 9-10. Great backwater fishing. Check out what Bassmasters say about that area. PM me if you want more info.

I've been going up to the ST.Croix area of Wisc. every July now for the last eight years.  The area is north and west of EauClair about three hours from the Dells.  From Rice Lake west to the MN border, some of the best small lake fishing in the state. Bar none.  From muskie fishing on Rice, Deer, Bone and many others to Balsam Lake, which in my opinion is the best bass lake in Wisc. I've ever fished. You can go simple to extravagant with lodging accomodations.

If you want to target smallmouth, GreenBay from June-Aug. is a serious producer of both numbers and size.

The area of S.E. Wisc is also loaded with numerous small lakes. The only drawback to these is their proximity to both Chicago and Milwaukee and that means both an abundance of pleasure boaters and constant fishing pressure.  If you're looking for good fishing close to one of the metro areas, I'd suggest the Madison chain. Another great bass fishery whose majority of fishing pressure is aimed at table fare species.

Booking week long lodging on most of the major lakes for July will be hard to find, but motel stays near the majority of these lakes is afforadbly priced. The wife and I have been staying at a casino hotel that gives package deals and is located amidst many of the lakes near Turtle Lake.
