take a charter boat out for some salmon fishing, catch a Brewers game and tour the Miller Brewery.

Fishing-wise, Lake MI salmon fishing is a must-do if you've never done it before. Inland fishing is post-peak, so not what I would call something special, but there are some nice lakes in SE WI to target bass, pike and to a lesser extent, eyes.

If you like musky fishing, Pewaukee is a must do lake, though it can get busy, choose your times (mid weeks, morning, evening and night) and chuck bucktails over and around the big cabbage beds. This lake heats up for ski's mid summer better than any other lake I ever fished. Lots of follow's, good action lake were you could stick a 30 anytime....

Looks like we are going to try to get out on lake Michigan. Trying to line up a boat now.

You will have a great time, I was reading some very diturbing trends for our Great Lakes in the Journal while visiting my mom this last week, Lake Michigan is currently under ambush from ocean frieghters and the crap they bilge into our fresh waters, because it is cheaper for them to dump in our lakes. Lake Huron is going if not allready dead and they say Lake Michigan is next. Pretty sad state of affairs considering we share this waterway with our Canadien friends. Anyways I'm off my pedestal now.....
