Northwest Wisconsin has some fantastic musky angling opportunities! I am constantly trying to pattern these fish and will put forth my best effort to put you on the fish. I welcome all experience levels in my boat and I can assure you that no matter what experience you have with these toothy predators, you will benefit from a trip with Musky Operations. The thrill of the catch is the end goal with Musky Operations but I also strive to share my tactics on different bodies of water at all times of the year and enjoy coaching what I have learned over the years. One thing that I have learned is that no population of these fish is the same and no body of water is the same. I always keep this in mind and use my past experiences as well as up to date electronics to help make your musky trip one that you will never forget!
You will be fishing out of a 2017, Skeeter MX 1825 powered by a 150 horse power Yamaho SHO to get us where we need to go in a timely fashion. There is ample room for 3 people and gear so you can fish in comfort. I use only proven gear that I trust and holds up and will provide you with whatever rods and tackle are called for on any trip. If you have some gear of your own that you wish to bring along and use I welcome you to do so. Rods that I use are typically 8-9′ long with high quality bait casters spooled with 100lb superbraid to make sure we don’t lose your trophy.
Additional items you need to bring:
- A positive attitude. Fishing and particular musky fishing is undoubtedly mental and never a guarantee so a good upbeat demeanor only helps.
- Valid Wisconsin fishing license
- Raingear and appropriate clothing for the days weather
- Sunglasses (Preferably polarized)
- Sunscreen
- Camera or phone (I will always have mine)
Rates:
Half day (4-5 hrs): $300 good for up to 2 people
Full day (7-9 hrs): $450 good for up to 2 people
One on one trips are ideal for newcomers to musky fishing. This will allow for one on one hands on experience and optimal fishing opportunities for the individual. Full day trips will include an optional lunch break depending on location. Lunch will be each individuals responsibility but I will always have water and snacks.
**Catch and release Musky: I am a firm believer in catch and release musky fishing and preserving this great fish for generations to come. If you are looking at getting a mount of a trophy caliber fish, we will obtain all length and girth measurements as well as pictures for a replica.
