Suggestion for fishing trip

[The Birdfish]

Hey all

 

I am starting to plan our bi-yearly fishing trip that usually takes place in September and I am looking for some suggestions on lakes and even outfitters?

The fellas seem to want to target big pike, Walleye and Muskey occasionally .

Last trip we went to LOTW and had a amazing time but thinking something different.

We are open to really anything within 24 hour drive but I am leaning towards keeping it under 12 if possible and under the a grand in price?

 

Your advice is appreciated
