Not looking for your honey hole or super large fish, just need to get the family out there. Thanks!

If you are willing to drive a little south there is excellent shore fishing, although its mostly reservoirs. Not very comfortable for the wife, but I'm sure the kids would love it. Milk river ridge reservoir and chin offer great fishing as does the old man reservoir. I would target walleye or pike as both pretty easy to catch. Mostly a pickerel rig with a minnow and worm will work. Instead of a weight at the bottom use a larger jig head so you have 3 hooks.
If you do head south send me a PM and I can give you some spots.
Before you head out anywhere please read the fishing regulations for that body of water as lots has changed in the last while
