Inland Lake Fishing Guide

Ultimate Musky Guide Service has Wisconsin fishing guides specializing in advanced, proven baited, casting, & trolling techniques for Musky (Muskie/Muskellunge), Northern Pike, Walleye, Large Mouth Bass, Small Mouth Bass, White Bass, Perch, and other species in southern Wisconsin. 

While we are called a Musky Guide service, we have been guiding for northern, walleye, bass and other fish for decades. So, in essence, we are a fishing guide service that specializes in Musky.  

Our goal is to provide a high-quality guided fishing experience that’s both professional and approachable for anglers of all experience levels.

Some of our captains also have a Captain’s License and have been Great Lakes charter captains on Lake Michigan for many years.

Reserve a trip by viewing our rates & booking your trip. We have 1/2 day & full day options for inland guided fishing trips and great lakes charter trips.

Styles of Fishing

The different styles, or types of fishing we do include trolling, casting, & bait fishing. Bait fishing usually consists of using live suckers, but there are other secret techniques used that have proven to be very successful.

All techniques can vary greatly depending on time of day, time of year, lighting conditions, weather conditions, the air as well as water temperature, the fish we are after, the lake we are on, the depth of the water, the depth we are fishing, and so much more.

The Lakes We Fish On & The Fish We Catch

  • Pewaukee Lake is located in Pewaukee, Wisconsin.
  • Oconomowoc Lake, Lac La Belle, & Fowler Lake are located in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.
  • Okauchee Lake, which is located in Okauchee, Wisconsin.
  • Fowler Lake is located in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.
    All the above lakes produce large Musky, Northern, and Walleye. 
  • Lake Koshkonong, which is located Southeast of Madison, WI, between Fort Atkinson & Edgerton, Wisconsin. 
    Lake Koshkonong is exceptional in the spring and early summer, when the water is cool enough for the fish to be active in this very shallow lake. Lake Koshkonong and the Rock River are great places for a guided fishing trip that usually results in a cooler full of fish. We catch many species of fish, including Northern, Walleye, White Bass, Perch, sheepshead, and others.
  • Other lakes we commonly guide on include Big Green Lake, Lake Geneva, Lake Delavan, Green Lake, Lake Monona, & Lake Waubesa.
  • Lake Michigan, one of the 5 Great Lakes, is great for Salmon & Trout. We launch out of Milwaukee or one of the other Wisconsin launch sites.

     

  • We also have special days or weeks when we are fishing on Lake Winnebago or other northern Wisconsin Lakes. Call for details.
