My kids and I had an incredible week in August getting into no access lakes in the Minocqua area with float tubes. Some of them didn't even have names. You just have to look on google-maps and find these little pot holes and then find way to walk in. My nephew found one while mountain biking down some trail. They aren't easy to get on, but well worth the effort. They are all loaded with bass. We would go for a couple hours in the middle of the afternoon and end up with 10-12 bass between the two of us. But the size was incredible. We stopped taking pictures of 18"ers. There are so many of these little lakes that it makes my head spin. We never saw another human on any of them. I'm sure we may be the only ones to fish them all year. Some had a cabin on them and maybe a kayak or paddle boat on shore, but these are getting NO fishing pressure at all. My nephew and I scouted and found about 4-5 to try while we were there, but you could fish years and not get to all of them. We kept the walk-in to less than a half-mile, but there are a bunch more if you are willing to hike further. And if you can travel the fire roads, wow!!! Endless opportunities. I'll post some pictures on a separate thread.
