| Heading north next week for a week, staying at Jacksons, with customers, looking for some pointers and a guide for a few hours/day, wanna fish the rainbow, saint, big arb while there. Haven't been there in more than a dozen years, and looking for crappies, walleyes and a day throwin' for esox. Who's a good all around person to spend an afternoon in the boat with up there so we don't starve? Will pay but also will swap for a day on bago the following 2 weeks whne I get back, it should be in it's prime by then!
Good Luck

My parents live in St. Germain, so I get up there quite a bit. I would recommend either Rob Manthei or Kurt Justice. Rob runs Fibber's Resort on Big St., Kurt runs Island Sport Shop in Minocqua. I have not personally fished w/ either but, both are stand-up guys who will put you on fish.
I spent a long weekend up there 5/17- 5/20 with my wife. The walleyes we caught were still milking! You can't beat Lk. Content for some nice crappies! Any other ?s message me.
Good Luck,
Jason |

Location: McFarland, WI | Rainbow was producing good numbers of walleyes trolling last week. My favorite Musky Lake is big Arb. Fish the center bar and weed edges in the NE bay. Good walleyes here also. Ken Jackson is a great source of info. Little Arb had some great walleye action a week ago in the narrows and the crappies should be in the east bay spawning. |

Location: Lincolnshire, IL | I would second Rob Manthei as a guide, panfish, walleyes and of course Muskies, Knockers on Dam Lake on the Sugar Camp Chain has decent pizza.
Larry, really?, the Rainbow had a decent trolling bite going last week, I assume on the south end? Any size to the fish? Cranks? I will be on the Sugar Camp Chain from 6/7 - 6/14...wasn't going to take the trolling gear but in case the fishing is slow, might have to take a quick ride to the Rainbow.... |

Location: Darboy USA | Rob would be the guy if you can still get him. Steve White otherwise would be a good choice. Both know the area well.
Can't beat the food and atmosphere at Whitetail Lodge, Polecat and Lace in Minocqua is a nice little place too. PineTree or Pine something west of Wooddruff on 70 is great too, ribs are awesome! |

| If you are staying at Jackson's, Kenny would be my first choice. Rob is also pretty darned good. Wouldn't go wrong either way. |
