Ice Fishing

Welcome to Rob Manthei's Ice Fishing Adventures:

• Targetting lakes in Vilas and Oneida County
• Full and evening trips
• Heated permanent shacks or mobile trips using ATV's, snowmobiles, and Frabill portable shacks
• All equipment provided if needed
• Guides are myself and Ray "the knothead" Alexander of Ray's Landing

Target Species:
Walleyes, pike, and panfish (late ice is the best)

Suggested Equipment:

Walleye:
Tip-ups set up with fluorocarbon leader material of either 8 or 10 lb test.  Clear mono is ok, but I strongly recommend using either Berkley Vanish or other fluoro materials.
Jig rods with spooled with Fireline and using a short flourocarbon leader also.  Fireline recommendations or 8 lb or 10 lb test. Treble hooks of either #8 or #10

Pike:
Tip-ups set with either 27lb Sevenstrand wire leader material or equivalent Toothy Critter or Tiger Wire materials.  Heavy fluorocarbons such as 40 to 50 lb test work good too.  I like to use either #4 or #6 treble hooks, and make my own quick sets for dead bait.

Panfish:
Jig rods with 2 or 4 lb test.

Plans and Prices:
Full day:
Typical start around 8 am and fish until dark.Usually target pike in the morning and then switch to walleyes during the early afternoon. I will provide lunch on the ice.We will grill burgers, brats, or some type of wild game.

Price: (1 to 3 people)  $350 for the day and whatever bait expense is(4 or more people)$100 per person and whatever bait expense is

Evening trip:
Targetting just walleyes here. I like to be set up around 2 hours prior to sunset and fish til dark or a little after.  Just a short trip keying on the prime walleye hours.

Price: (1 to 3) people is $200 per trip and whatever bait expense is These trips are limited to only 3 people max.
