I haven’t found anything searching google and was looking for a spot like that then going to search places to stay but was hoping for some input on some small local area where shore fishing people cant stop catching them as not too many people like them for family vacation next year in addition the shorter the walk from the car the better as who i am fishing with has a bad leg

Fishing is never a guarantee. You can’t expect to go to a place and have non stop action because you’ll be awfully disappointed. In the winter is when most people target pickerel for food too.

That said, some places that have always been good to me was lake moraine in Madison and oxbow in lake pleasant. There’s a few airbnbs at each, just gotta take a look and see what one works for you. You won’t break any size records but never gotten skunked there. Came close to it many times though

I'd search the Airbnb site for places on certain lakes, like Galway Lake. Galway Lake is a private lake that is loaded with pickerel and I know there are some Airbnb's available on it. The lake also has good walleye and panfish.

Caz or any of the Madson county lakes near it have tons of pickerel to keep you busy with

I understand that you have to be a resident to fish Galway Lake ?  Also have been told that ice fishing is not allowed. I've been by there many times and have never seen an ice fisherman.   BETTER CHECK FIRST

We ice fish it every year. The residents try to play the no ice fishing card but that's a made up rule. And if you have access to the lake, you can fish it. We have friends that have a camp there and that's how we gain access. If someone rented an AirBnB on the lake then they also would have access to ice fish.

I always check first.
