Where would you go?
Where would you go fishing if you had all next week off and could go basically anywhere within about a 500 mile radius? You have access to gear/boats that could be used for any kind of fishing (salmon trolling, inland lakes, river... whatever).
I am planning a trip next week with a couple friends and we just can't decide where to go...
Any suggestions?
( I know a lot of people are thinking ERIEU or WHEATLEY, but I think we are going to pass on that)

Good choice about Wheatley and Erieau. Great fishing, but not great for vacationing as well.

Here is my 2 cents....
I would go to Ludington and troll a couple days and then head over to Saginaw bay and get some walleyes.

I'm pretty burned out on salmon trolling, but we are tossing around the idea of lake ontario...

I would either hit up the Soo and the north shore of Superior, or Lake O for those 30lbers.

Somewhere north where a 16" brookie is an eater and it takes 20" to lift an eyebrow.
Can you find that within 500 miles?

Lake Superior
If your boat is big enough, you can follow someone out and the weather is o.k., I would go to Lake Superior's Standard Rock and try for giant Lakers. After or before this, you could hit Detour and fish the ports of your choice back.

Anywhere the eye's are. SS Marie, Alpena, Erie, Saginaw Bay or even some closer spots.
Personally I've caught enough salmonoids in my life that the thrill is not there as much as it was though I still enjoy it. I do not think I could ever get that way about walleye.
