Your ice fishing guides are myself, Rob Manthei and Ray "the knothead" Alexander of Ray's Landing Bait & Tackle Shop.
We offer full Wisconsin ice fishing guide services for our target species of walleyes, northern pike, and panfish. (late ice is the best)
Suggested Equipment:
Walleye:
Tip-ups set up with fluorocarbon leader material of either 8 or 10 lb test. Clear mono is ok, but I strongly recommend using either Berkley Vanish or other fluoro materials.
Jig rods with spooled with Fireline and using a short flourocarbon leader also. Fireline recommendations or 8 lb or 10 lb test. Treble hooks of either #8 or #10.
Northern Pike:
Tip-ups set with either 27lb Sevenstrand wire leader material or equivalent Toothy Critter or Tiger Wire materials. Heavy fluorocarbons such as 40 to 50 lb test work good too. I like to use either #4 or #6 treble hooks, and make my own quick sets for dead bait.
Panfish:
Jig rods with 2 or 4 lb test.
Plans and Prices:
Full Day Ice Fishing Trip:
Typical start around 8 am and fish until dark(or depending upon what is currently happending with the bite) Usually target pike in the morning and then switch to walleyes during the early afternoon. I will provide lunch on the ice.We will grill burgers, brats, or some type of wild game.
Price: (1 to 3 people) $400 for the day and whatever bait expense is(4 or more people)$110 per person and whatever bait expense is.
Evening Ice Fishing Trip:
Targetting just walleyes here. I like to be set up around 2 hours prior to sunset and fish til dark or a little after. Just a short trip keying on the prime walleye hours.
Price: (1 to 3) people is $225 per trip and whatever bait expense is These trips are limited to only 3 people maximum.
