My name is Justin Gaiche and I'd love to be your guide. As Co-Founder of Hooksetters, I have taken great pride in watching our company grow, especially because of the quality guides that have become a part of it. I truely believe, this is the finest assembled group of professional fishing guides in the state of Wisconsin. In addition to my pride of being part of the Hooksetters family, I'm exceptionally proud of my family at home. My wonderful wife Nicole is my best fishing partner and in November we'll be adding another fisherman to the household!
In addition to guiding with Hooksetters, I have worked for Gander Mtn for 13 years and am currently the Firearms Supervisor. While I often guide for smallmouth bass on the fly and walleyes in Central Wisconsin, muskies are my favorite. As a touring participant of the Wisconsin Musky Tour, I have recorded 19 top 10 finishes including the 2002 Hunter Trophy Award, 2007 Pewaukee Champs and 2008 Sam/Dam Champs. This allows me to travel the state and guide the lakes of Oneida and Vilas Co., my home waters of the Wisconsin River and in southern Wisconsin.
I have had much of my work published in magazines like: Musky Hunter Magazine, Wisconsin Outdoor Journal, Wisconsin Outdoor News, Woods N' Waters Magazine, Sportsman's Connection, Wishigan Outdoors, Midwest Fishing and Hunting News & others.
I love guiding. As much fun as tournaments, writing and speaking are, nothing gives me more pleasure than the times I get to contribute to the angling success of others. I have watched children shiver with excitement and grown men fumble words in happiness. I look at each guiding trip as an opportunity to fulfill someone's dream of "Catching the Big One like on the left!" I hope I get that chance with you.

Hi I'm Glenn Moberg I live in Mosinee Wisconsin with my supportive wife Diane. I am an avid hunter and fisherman and have a great knowledge of multi-species fishing and hunting. I am very commited when it comes to being a fishing and hunting guide. My passion for the outdoors is not only expressed in the amount of time that I spend in the woods and on the water but by the involvement that I have with organizations within the industry like the Kippenberg Creek Kids www.kippenbergcreekkids.com and Bills Musky Club www.billsmuskyclub.com where I was a former member of the Board of Directors. Spending time in the woods and on the water are what I do. My true passion is hunting muskies, which is only second to chasing huge whitetails.

My name is Kurt Schultz. I live west of Wausau with my wife Carrie and our two year old daughter Claire. I am a licensed Wisconsin Fishing Guide and my 11 year of experience under the name "Kurt's Guiding" and now "Hooksetters" together has been something that I have always wanted to pursue. I spend all of my time fishing on the Wisconsin river and it's flowages. I run a 17 foot Jon boat with a 40 hp. jet drive allowing me to navigate the shallow waters of the Wisconsin River.
If you are looking for early spring walleye and bass trips or looking to chase the elusive musky this is a trip for you. From spring to summer to fall, you will not be disappointed with the amazing senary WI has to offer along with the wildlife, along the way.
I am involved with fishing organizations such as the Kippenberg Creek Kids, Bill's Musky Club, and the 12 Apostles.I am dedicated to give and enjoyable and educational outing. I am sponsored by Ducktail lures, and Angling Solutions

The northwoods of Tomahawk, Wisconsin offer peace and beauty found in few places in the world. Covered with waters filled with wonderful fisheries of musky, walleye, pike and panfish, this is certainly a place you want to visit. In the center of Tomahawk is a lake with a long history of great musky fishing and it is called Lake Mohawskin. This lake is special to me because it is literally the back yard I share with my wife Heidi and our three great children. Living on Lake Mohawskin gives me daily fishing experience that makes me a successful guide and tournament angler. It is here where many clients just pull into my driveway, walk past the kid's sandbox and right into my family-friendly Ranger 618 boat.
In addition to guiding and tournaments, I also am a free lance outdoor writer, avid hunter and organize youth fishing events for Tomahawk Fishing Unlimited.
While I live on Lake Mohawskin as Hooksetter's Northern Outpost, I also spend a great deal of time fishing near by lakes like Lake Alice, Lake Nokomis, Jersey City Flowage and the Willow Flowage. With fishing like this, I can't help but want to share it with anglers.

Hi name is John Sparbel and I have grown up and lived in the beautiful Wausau area all my life. I am engaged to my beautiful fiance Vettie and have raised two wonderful daughters Lindsay and Megan. This area of central Wisconsin that I call home has proven to be one of the prime natural resource areas for trophy fish, with the Wisconsin River being the main attraction. Persuing trophy muskies has grown to be my passion, as there are truly some real hogs out there! Safely navigating these rivers and backwaters with all the rocks and stump fields has taken me a life-time, and a few props and lower units to learn. The time I have taken to learn the Wisconsin River and its flowages will be to your benefit, as I will guide and teach you so that you can become comfortable navigating and catching trophy muskies as well.
Along with going after trophy muskies, there are great opportunities for catching the hard fighting small mouth bass. There are many of those football sized bronze beauties here on the Wisconsin River. Want big catfish? There are many hard fighting big cats here ready to pound your offering. Walleye fishing has been getting better and better and its hard to beat a fresh fish fry of walleye and maybe a few crappies fried with a light golden batter. Add some potato salad, coleslaw and rye bread and you got the fixings for a traditional Wisconsin style fish fry made from the fish we just caught. I truly love getting kids involved in fishing and welcome the opportunity to teach young anglers the basics of fishing or more advanced techniques.
I have been featured in several magazine articles, made the cover of two. Write fishing reports and present several fishing seminars each year. I am also involved with Bill's Musky Club and help with the stocking of muskies in area waters. I volunteer for the Kippenberg Creek Kids: www.kippenbergcreekkids.com and have worked in the fishing department of Gander Mountain.

An avid hunter and fisherman, Jeff's experiences in the wild have made him not only an expert in the area but around the country as well. In addition to Jeff's vast outdoor experiences, his in depth education combined with his employment at Gander Mountain as the Archery Department Manager has made him a leader in the industry.
Jeff and his partner Dean Wendt are Nationally recognized as leading instructors and educators in the industry. They have not only trained and instructed the other local guides but they have given in depth seminars on the how-to's and the basics of bowfishing along with tips on safety for night time bowfishing. In adition to their accomplishments locally they have accumulated multiple national awards in the industry and have a 2007 Illinois Bowfishing State Championship to hang their hat on. These two guys are the best of the best! There is no one better!
With having over 25 years each of time tested and proven results between Dean and Jeff they will prove to you that with their experience and expertise that they can put anyone on fish. Not only are you gong to tag some very nice fish these two guys will have you laughing and in tears all night long with tales and yearns of past experiences.
So, for something new and out of the ordinary and as a way of tuning up that old calibrated eye for the upcoming dear season or as a way of getting out and getting some very interesting night time photos (for all of you camera addicts) why don't you give night time bowfishing a try. I did and I loved it! It was a blast!!!

Central Wisconsin, known to few for it's outstanding fishing and hunting opportunities is the area that I call home. Over the past 40+ years I have made it my personal obligation to intimately learn the vast woods and abundant lakes and rivers in this area. By doing so I can provide you with an outdoor experience that you won't ever forget.
Hello, my name is Phil Schweik: I live in Mosinee Wisconsin with my wonderful and supportive wife Rhonda and our three children. In addition to being a husband and father I enjoy nothing more than fishing and hunting. My memberships to fishing organizations like Bills Musky Club keep me involved with groups of people that are as concerned about the outdoors and the environment as much as myself. My work with groups like the Kippenberg Creek Kids www.kippenbergcreekkids.com gives me the opportunity to work with and help youths and individuals that are less fortunate than us. In addition to being a licensed Wisconsin fishing and hunting guide, I am a tournament angler and director, author, seminar speaker, radio and TV personality. I am also employed at the Wausau Gander Mountain Store in the fishing department.
With this vast involvement it has given me the opportunity to become not only very experienced in the woods and on the water, but also well educated in the fishing and hunting industry. With this knowledge I am able to teach and educate children as well as adults in the fields of hunting and fishing. By spending the day with me you are not just going fishing or hunting, you are getting true: "On the Water" or "In the Woods" fishing and hunting experiences. I look forward to each and every trip in the hopes of being able to fulfill your dreams of catching that first fish or getting the trophy of a lifetime!!!
