Mike- Thanks for getting things started. As I mentioned earlier this will be my 1st time to Wisconsin so I am just starting to do some heavy duty research and I'm really not sure what county I would like to focus on but Vilas county is one that I am considering heavily. I would like to find a lake that would provide good #'s of fish as well as a trophy lake. I would prefer to bring my boat but would be open to renting if someone can steer me in the right direction. I am planning on 3 days of fishing on the initial trip with a 4 day follow up later in the month. Thanks again for the help- Jon
