My wife wants to rent a cottage on a lake in the U.P for our 10th anniversary. We are taking my boys who will be 5 when we go (Early August). I would like to fish for pike, walleye, small mouth and possibly musky. I do not want to fish the Great Lakes, I am literally 30 mins from Lake Erie and really do not enjoy big lake fishing that much. I grew up with Resthaven in my back yard and enjoy small lake style fishing out of john boats or bass boats. Does anybody have any advise, experience, etc. with fishing in land lakes, bays, rivers, or reservoirs in the U.P. I am looking for a Canadian lake style fishing experience, but this is a family vacation and we do not want to be quite that remote (wife would like to shop, have electricity, etc.)

Consider Lake Gogebic. It's a very large lake, but the fishing for the species you mentioned is awesome. Most cabins, cottages, and resorts include a boat with your lodging.
