Location: Minnesota | Thinking of hitting green bay this year.any resorts on the lake worth staying at with a protected harbor . Or do you stay at a Motel close to the lake .would prefer to cast most of the time but would troll mid day. When eating lunch. And is Green Bay on the Wisconsin lake maps chip or is it a separate chip. Thanks for any helpful tips |

Location: SE WISCONSIN | I'm pretty sure Green Bay is on my lakemaster chip if nobody else confirms I will check Monday when I get to my shop. |

| green bay is on the lakemaster chip, although not a lot of contour info, 3' lines I believe, when I fished there I stayed at the Oconto inn, was about 7-8 miles from where I launched and was like 55 bucks for a double and they had an outside power receptacle, bring your own cord good food at the bar where I launched and I would guess probably bar food available in town also, pm me and we can talk more |

Location: Watersmeet, Michigan | I suppose casting may be worth trying, but when I fished with Brett Alexander, it was 100% trolling. (Fascinating to watch him rig nine planer boards.)

Location: Green Bay, Titletown, WI | Smokey's on the Bay has a deal worked out with the Mariner Hotel on the fox river. Check with them. I personally would find a cabin to rent near Suamico/Peshtigo/Oconto area. The whole west shore is lined with cabins for the most part. There is plenty of casting opportunities available. I live in Green Bay, feel free to PM me with any questions.

Location: Weyauwega Wi. | If you want to cast I would suggest Eric Larsen. He's been on the fish out there for quite some time now. The majority of his fishing the past 2 years has been casting. |

Or, you could be like Brett and just follow my buddies around casting to get a good show out of the deal.

Location: Wisconsin | I only cast. GB is a great spot for it, especially early in the year. I would stay up in Oconto, less pressure than further south in the Bay... and they have one hotel and one motel to choose from up there that are only a couple miles from Bay Road boat launch

| I can confirm the Oconto Motel is 55 bucks. A little rough (wouldn't stay there with the wife) but at least you don't have to worry about messing anything up. Fisherman/hunter friendly. A bit North of where most of the activity is going down. May want to consider some of the hotels off Lineville Rd exit closer to GB too. Not sure there is much between the 2 spots to stay. Plenty of options for food/drink in both locations. |

love how the camera man is too busy giving Bob M. esque direction to realize he gets the net hung up on the outboard at 4:06, vehemently apologizing. |
