I just bought a 2005 Lund Rebel with 25hp. I would like to explore and CATCH bass, Pike etc etc. I am looking for areas in Southern Half of The State that is quiet and is relatively safe(not a River fisherman)and has good Bass, Pike (muskies panfish). Sauk City >?- Backwaters- small rivers with slow current.. Any ideas within 4 hours of IL. /Wis. border ? Pm if its a secret.. I only plan maybe 2 or 3-2 day trips this year fishing rivers or backwaters.. Launch directions are very helpful.
