Capt. Matt Raley. Full-time hunting and fishing guide in north central WI. I guide all over the area with the popular vacation towns of Minocqua, Eagle River, Manitowish Waters, boulder Junction, and saint Germain. I am well known for my musky fishing expertise being a 3 time pmtt world champion winner. But am also the most decorated angler in their tournament series history. Besides musky I also enjoy and fish at a high level for bass, walleyes, and even big panfish. Besides fishing northern WI. I run a duck/fishing operation on the Texas coast in the winter months and chase tarpon in the spring down in south west FL. I am one of thr very few full-time guides in the area with a great reputation of making your day highly enjoyable catching our target species.

How did you get started guiding?

Growing up didn't know anyone else to hunt or fish with so decided to make a website to see if people wanted to go so I then could buy more gear and tackle. It took off to the point where I went full-time into it right out of college.

What makes you different from other guides?

Experience, time on the water, drive to be the best at it. I strive to always put in 110% effort to get the most out of the day. I started tournament fishing to see if hey I actually know what I'm doing against others. A decade later I've decorated myself being one of the best musky tournament anglers in the country.
