Title: Ideas for out of state.....
Post by: Downthehole on January 11, 2017, 07:20:19 AM: Guys,

With this crazy weather I'm thinking of an out of state trip. Does anyone have any recommendations on places that are a days drive from Columbus? At the moment I'm thinking Green Bay but open to other ideas....

Andy

I might be looking to do ma trip the weekend of the 21st. Anyone else?
Northern Michigan a possible too.

Post by: bucknuts on January 13, 2017, 01:38:32 PM: I'm working on putting together 2 trips in february to Baldwin, Mi. I have access to a nice cabin (sleeps 5) and 2 snowmobiles. Big Star Lake is 10 mins on the sleds and they have great pike, walleye, perch fishing and tiger musky. This will be like $75 - $80 per day
If your interested please pm me. Baldwin is in the middle of the Manistee national forest and surrounded by lakes and snowmobile trails. You can even ride snowmobiles into town to the pizza shop or grocery store.

Post by: g on January 17, 2017, 09:12:21 AM: Has anyone fished Lake Charlevoix, Mi. before? Read in an ice guide a few years ago it is a good lake to fish and was thinking about giving it a try in Feb.
