About Your Trip

We will be fishing out of my 18’ Ranger Fisherman (tiller steering), equipped with 2 Minn Kota trolling motors, Lowrance Electronics with GPS, and powered by a 50hp Honda 4-stroke Motor. 

St. Croix rods and Abu Garcia reels are provided along with hundreds of different baits.

I guide by half or full day and I am very flexible when it comes to making adjustments to work around your schedule and the weather.

It is my ultimate goal to provide you with a safe and enjoyable time on the water and to teach you how to become a more successful angler. 

This will include:

• Learning seasonal fishing patterns
• Understanding lake ecosystems
• Lure selection
• How to use electronics
• How to identify productive spots
• How to fillet your catch 
• Casting / figure-8 fundamentals and much more!

Things to Remember:

• Wisconsin fishing license
• Sunglasses
• Appropriate clothing
• Rain gear / hat
• Sun Screen
• Camera
• Lunch / Snacks

Catch and Release:

Musky fishing is 100% catch, photo, and release to preserve this valuable resource. 


Comfort, Safety, and FUN! 

My Ranger Fisherman is the ultimate fishing machine and it is also very comfortable, with lots of room for storing your gear.  My Minn Kota Vector with 70 lbs of thrust moves the boat with ease even in the strongest wind.  Boat control is critical to consistently catching the big ones.  I will share with you my secrets on this important issue and much more!
