Picking a launch and starting out form central WI

[Nic Gibson]

My 16 year old son and I did some trolling up in the UP and Apostle islands, and we want to do more closer to home so we can do it more often: Madison, WI. 

I run an 18ft Pro V. I have a kicker if I have a motor issue. I get sick in about 3 foot seas in that size boat. We'd love to catch kings, but we like eating fish, and any trout or salmon will do. Do you have recommendations for where we could try putting in and go? I have 4 Big Johns, planers, and Walleye boards. I'm putting a lead together, but that's as far as I've gotten. I'm not fooling with meat rigs yet.  I know I need to get bigger boards to run lead and copper deeper than 25ft or so. 

Port? 

Basic directional advise? 

thanks
