About your guide:
"Greetings! I am a lifelong avid angler residing in the Minocqua, Wisconsin area since 1994. A Wisconsin native and licensed Wisconsin fishing guide since 1990. The 90's era yielded success as a guide, tournament angler, writer, and promoter. The 2000's drew focus to starting a new family, guiding part time and spending countless hours on the water exploring new waters while honing a wide variety of presentation techniques. 2018 marks the beginning of a new era, allowing me to take on more guided trips in my pursuit to help others learn more and enjoy the sensational sport of fishing and the great outdoors. It's an adventure that has no end, knows no limits, can provide a meal, and can even mend a mind... the ultimate challenge!
I hope we get a chance to enjoy some time in the boat together!"

Polarized sunglasses recommended for underwater vision and eye safety. I do have some extra glasses, rainwear, and an extra cooler available for use if needed. Hopefully we don't need rainwear. We will get off the water in the event of thunder, lightning, or any other unsafe conditions and resume or reschedule the trip when conditions are safe.
