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.  We have three children: Randy, Mike, and Cassandra.  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, author and seminar speaker.  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!!!

Hello, 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.  Our tight-knit, family orientated group prides ourselves in the ability to not only put people on great fish, but make them feel like they're with family.

In addition to guiding with Hooksetters, I have worked for Gander Mtn for 10 years.  I have recently stepped down from my management position in Green Bay and am the host of Hook'd Up with Justin Gaiche on the Sportsman Channel.  My multispecies show will begin airring in January and I invite you to visit my show's website: www.victoryoutdoors.net

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 11 top 10 finishes including the 2002 Hunter Trophy Award, 2007 Pewaukee Champs and currently sit in 4th for Team of the Year.  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, my name is John Sparbel, I live in Wausau with my two beautiful daughters Lindsay & Megan.  Being a life long resident of Wausau Wisconsin has allowed me to take full advantage of the fishing opportunities available in our areas lakes, rivers & flowages.  Learning these waters through countless days and nights of being, "On the Water!!!" has become a lifelong passion of mine.  The education I have gained from learning the seasonal fish movements, how the fish hold to different structures, and how different species react to different presentations has become my foundation for success.  I enjoy and look forward to sharing these experiences and knowledge with you during and after our trip.

In 1994 I started my guide business "Musky Tracker Guide Service".  My guiding experiences include customers catching several 47" plus muskies and one 50" over 30 pounds.  Limits of walleyes and bruiser smallmouth have made many enjoyable days for my clients and myself.  I especially enjoy when I get the opportunity to teach a young boy or girl to fish, and they catch their first fish or their biggest "lunker".     

I am a proud member of Bill's Musky Club, have been on the board of directors and have helped with the stocking of Muskies in this areas waters.  I hold the line class world record for 16 lb test for a 41 pound 4 oz, 52" musky that I caught out of Lake Wausau in October of 1993.  Along with my full time job at Kolbe & Kolbe Windows & Doors, I also work part time at Gander Mountain of Wausau in the fishing department.  By working at Gander Mountain I have gained a vast knowledge of fishing products and the fishing industry.

I guide out of a safe, comfortable 18 ft Crestliner boat with a 115 hp Evenrude, fully outfitted with all the latest electronics.  When your on the water with me you will learn some of the best hot spots on the lakes and rivers.  Lure selection will be discussed along with lure techniques.  Whether we are fishing for the "mighty musky" or going for crappies and bluegills, emphasis will be on making your day on the water the most enjoyable you would expect, and a very memorable experience.

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.
