Although I live very close to Lake Michigan, and would love to explore there, Scotty the engineer told me, "she just can't take it Cap't., she just won't hold together!" (The Enterprise that is)
So my favorite spot is the Bay of Green Bay. And I like it for the same reasons obnoxus likes the big pond.
Some of the best Smallmouth Bass and Northern Pike fishing IN THE WORLD!!!
The scenery is absolutely beautiful. Pics are forthcoming!
I can go east to Packer Country. (Green Bay) Across the Bay to Menominee, MI. Or up the peninsula to the historic towns of Door County.
And if there's a NW wind, or it's just plain windy, there are three bays I can go hide in.
And of course, a few nice beaches.
And lots of places to get a burger or a cold one. With lots of live entertainment on the weekends. (Music you guys!)
And the water is crystal clear. (Zebra Mussels)
And I can get to the big pond, through the channel, in Sturgeon Bay
Other than that, I get to the Mississippi River once every other year. That's awesome.
Didn't take me long to get sick of the small lakes where you take 10 laps and get sick of the same old sights.
Warp one Scotty, engage!
