Need help planning the ultimate fishing trip

Post by P413 » Wed May 04, 2016 10:33 am

Me and four other high-school buddies are all turning 50 years old in 2016. Since I'm the only die-hard fisherman in the group, I volunteered to plan a fishing trip. They all enjoy fishing but only go when I take them out on my boat.
Do you have any recommendation for a great fishing trip that will be filled with lots of catching and not just fishing? Please include the best time to take this trip.
Some things to consider:
- trip will be sometime in August or later, can be 3-4 day trip.
- prefer any type of black bass fishing but open to striper in freshwater too.
- can be anywhere in the US or Canada; private pay-for-play lakes are ok too.
- will need to hire a guide as none of them have any fishing equipment and I don't have enough for all of them.
- friends have limited ability and only proficient with spinning gear, so trips requiring flipping, punching, skipping baits under docks is likely not a good idea.

Thanks for any suggestions for a fun and memorable fishing trip.

Lake Erie would be a great place. Lots of charters for smallies perch and walleye also the harbors are full of large mouth .
