Pike in Michigan - late July

[stevation]

My brother and I have always wanted to catch northern pike, but we live in the west where there aren't any. We're coming to Michigan on July 21st for a few days and are willing to drive pretty much anywhere within 4 hours of Detroit for a two-day fishing trip. Where can we be practically guaranteed the northern pike fishing trip of a lifetime? We are willing to hire a guide if we need to, and we would like a place with either a lodge, cabin, or motel right by the lake and rental boats nearby. Besides northerns, we'd love to catch some big smallmouth, some walleyes, and maybe even a muskie if possible. Don't care about trout, since we're up to our ears in trout out here.

Any guides out there can meet this need? Thanks.
