They all have a good summer bite at times, what are you looking for in a trip..numbers of fish, giant fish?

When in summer are you going? This is going to have much to do with the weather.

I'm looking at heading to the Cass Lake area around the 4th of July. Not my optimal weekend to get out there but for work and vacation allotment reasons... With a typical spring are fish usually in their summer patterns by this time or are is there still a transition from spring to summer? I know it is all weather dependent but in a typical year? How about the boat & recreational traffic on this holiday weekend? Plan on hitting the water early & late and night fishing to beat it. I have been searching the web for a place to stay on Plantangenet. Thanks.

I know this resort isn't on Plantagenant, but it's a nice little resort on Little Wolf Lake. Little Wolf Lake is a Musky Brood stock lake and the only access to it is at this resort. It is very close to Leech, Cass and Plan... Check it out. We stayed here and made day trip to all three bigger lakes and finished off the day with night fishing on Little Wolf...

Can't help on the MN lake front except to say Mille Lacs in July can be outstanding - particularly the north shore.

Thanks E23 for the link. May be an option. I figured I would like to stay on one of the smaller area lakes where I could be a short drive to the bigger puddles. From what I have found is that 4th of July weekend is a nightmare for boat traffic. I'll probably take a day or two before and after the holiday on that Monday. Full moon two day safter the 4th...... Can't wait!

The Muskie action is normally pretty good on Vermilion in July unfortunately, just like all the other good lakes it's also very busy.

Plantan is a good choise. This lake had some good #'s and size to boot. Its a smaller lake ans easy to fish. Get a hot spots map and your set.

I haven't fished Vermilion yet, but like all the other lakes mentioned. ALl can be very very good, and all can be tough, too. Big fih? All the above.

Depends on the year. Last year Mille Lacs had the best bite. The year before it was Vermillion. Maybe this year it will be Cass.
