Any particular lake your looking to fish? I would highly highly suggest my musky league partner Jeff Piazza. He practically lives on the Minocqua chain and knows it as good as anyone out there. He also knows many other surrounding Minocqua area lakes also. I think those on this website who know him would also highly recommend Jeff! Oh, did I mention he can be a multispecies guide also. He's one of the best sticks I know!

Russ "Smity" Smith has been guiding up in that whole area for years, and his son Jake is also guiding. You can give him a call at: 1-715-356-5565.

Matt McCumber (magnum) guides up in that area, and he's as good as anyone out there when it comes to finding muskies in northern Wisconsin.
he's also newly unemployed due to the GMC plant closing in Janesville, so hiring him would help out a friend of MuskieFirst.
he's up there right now fishing in fact.

If you like to rowtroll, I'm your guy. We boat as many big walleyes as muskies. Not a technique for everyone, however.

If you like to cast, Jeff Piazza, Russ Smith, Jake Smith (Russ's son), Doug Smith, or Paul Habram will take good care of you. All are accomplished multi-species anglers as well.

Also, my partner Mark Lijewski is guiding this year as well. If you want a crash course in Bulldawg fishing he is your guy.

Contact Paul, Russ, or Jake through Kurt's Island Sports, Doug through Rollies, or Mark or myself through www.badfishoutdoors.net.

Hope this helps.

Do you want BIG fish? Do you want to learn a ton?

Doug Smith, look no further. Knows a ton, a great guy and catches BIG fish.

need a map marked or you just need the gear? Either way go with Jeff if he's open and if not try my buddy Jake as mentioned above.
