Agree with the VRBO or Air BnB route. You can rent someone's cabin on the water with dock for not a whole lot more than hotel in town. Just watch their cancellation policies so you don't get stuck.

Its funny out there right now. Fish still seem to be deep holding tight to brush, if the water warms a little hopefully they will start suspending and making nests.
