I suggest Thompson Lake in downtown Howell. I have heard about 50"+ pike coming out of there, a friend caught one in the mid 40" range this year and I caught a 36"er while bass fishing. That was fishing the deep drop directly out from the cemetery.
It is very expensive to launch there in the summer, but they don't have anybody in the box now from what I hear.
