bassdocktor Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 It has been quite awhile since I've stopped here but I always used to get great advice. I figured this was a great place to start. I have a week off the week of September 15 and my dad and I are looking to take a trip somewhere. He and I had always talked about taking a bigger trip (outside IL or MI) and this seems like a great time. I'm looking fo ideas of where might be a good place to go. We have a 18'6" Triton we can bring but we were also talking about getting a guide for 3 days and just bringing rods. No real criteria other than the chance to just have a great trip. Would like there to be a motel somewhat near by but I guess there usually is on any of the big lakes. If anyone can make suggestions keeping them relatively in the Midwest it would be hugely appreciated. I'll even take suggestion on guides. We are going to be driving boat or not so thats the biggest reason to keep it in the Midwestish area. Quote
bassdocktor Posted June 30, 2014 Author Posted June 30, 2014 No one? Looks like quite a few views but no ideas. Quote
Mainebass1984 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Got to Maine. The bass are biting great that time of year. The scenery is amazing. The weather is nice and often enough you have the whole lake to yourself. A few big bass around too. Its further then you want to go ideally but you wont be disappointed. Quote
grampa1114 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I'm thinking that you might want to try something along the Tennessee river chain.....Pickwick...Wilson...Guntersville...Wheeler....etc....The road trip has been in that vicinity for years now so you should get some good advice on accommodations and guide services.

Super User Scott F Posted July 1, 2014 Super User Posted July 1, 2014 Call Mike Mladenik (mikemladenik.com) to guide you on the Menominee River on the border of Wisconsin and the UP of Michigan. Lots of big smallmouth! You can stay at the Four Seasons Island Resort in Pembine WI. It's right on the river. The Menominee is one of the top 2 or 3 rivers in the Midwest for big smallmouth. Mike is a terrific guide, very friendly, and nobody knows that river better than he does. Quote
bassdocktor Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 Thanks for the responses everyone. Rhode Island is a bit far, if we were going that far I'd propably just consider somewhere like Texas or Florida too. I'll have to post in the section with Tennessee too. I'll have to call Mike and see what he has available and what his rates are, sure sounds good. I remember seeing him on TV before too. Quote
ColdSVT Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 The finger lakes in NY, Erie, and the St lawrance river is awesome in sept...Onieda would be on my short list Quote
