Michigan trip - looking for ideas

Oscoda, the AuSable river flows right through Oscoda. We were there last week and my granddaughter & grandson caught Walleye, Smallmouth, & Largemouth casting from shore. They are age 8 & 10. Go right at the mouth and cast crawlers bouncing bottom. Lots of Smallies in the river. Also behind Gilberts Pharmacy there is a spot on the river with a place to fish. Caught several smallies & 2 Walleyes there. Hope this helps. Wellman's Bait across the river will give you good information. Go to the Soo Locks, in the UP, that is a pretty cool place. The Big Mac Bridge is also cool. You are right, 5 days is not enough, enjoy. We will be at Cheboygan fishing Salmon & Lake Trout next week.

The museum at Whitefish Point is well worth it if you're into history. I thought it was definitely worth paying for the full tour. Tequamenon falls is scenic. Oswald's bear ranch is pretty cool.Watching A freighter go through the locks at Sault St. Marie is pretty cool. If you want to eat at a pretty awesome place, heading southeast along the rivet out of the Sault you can find a place called Cozy Corners... great food and an awesome display of all sorts of taxidermy. Like the others said, Sleeping Bear Dunes to Manistee to Ludington is a great area for beaches, lighthouses, pier fishing, you name it. If you make it to Ludington, heading out on the pier and watching the Badger head out is cool. These are a few I can think of.

South Haven and St Joe are beautiful as well and good charters there for Kings, Steelies and perch
