Thanks for all the input!!! I think we might lean towards Clear Lake because it's a little closer. But definitely like the idea of the wheel house. We stayed on the ice on Mille Lacs and I loved it.
I wouldn't go to clear lake unless it was at gun point. And it would have to be a .40 or bigger, I would survive a 9mm bullet. Okoboji or the Mississippi is where I would go.
Some people don't like Clear because its usually feast or famine. If you get into them its really fun, but you probably won't be taking much meat home. There are some slab crappies if you can find them there though.
Yellow bass are great as a a small part of a catch to add variety. As 90% of the catch? No thanks.
