Minocqua Lake - Oneida, WI Lake Report on 10th Apr, 2026 - 1

I haven’t ice fished much this year but it has been good when I have had the chance to do so. A quick photo and back for this mid-twenties. Catch and release for 20 walleyes that night. Not all need to meet the grease! This recent cold snap has me wishing for any sort of warmer temps! Even just a bit above zero would suffice. Only 97 days until gamefish opener in Northern Wisconsin! I have some availability left for May walleye, bass, or panfish trips. Get ahold me to lock in your next (warmer) fishing trip! 262-902-1618

The Best Guide Season Yet fishing report coverpicture

Minocqua Lake - Oneida, WI Lake Report on 25th Dec, 2025 - 1

Well... I finally have some time after a crazy few weeks wrapping up my graduate degree, teaching, and coaching to reflect on what was my best guide season yet! So many fantastic memories made with new clients, repeat clients, friends, and family that it is hard to put it all into words. From crappies, smallmouth, walleyes, and to Muskies; many firsts and personal bests made it into the boat. A couple of major highlights 🔥: -The most amount of Muskies in my boat to date by an additional 28 fish! -Inland Wisconsin 50” Musky -7 First Muskies -10 Musky Day -50.5” Musky on Topwater -Several 60+ fish multi-species guide trips -More repeat business than ever Although this is not my full-time gig, I absolutely love sharing my passion for dialing in bites all over the Northwoods with my clients. Thanks to my sponsors for helping me stay at the very top of the sport with the best equipment in the game! @stcroixrods @stealth_tackle @teamrhinooutdoors My 2026 guide book is officially open and filling faster than ever. I am going to guide more Muskies next year than ever so get in on the fun while I have availability! Until then, ice fishing will have to do... stay tuned for an ice report at the end of the week as I will be taking a group of high school students out on the ice to experience what the Northwoods has to offer later this week. 139 days until 2026 gamefish opener... but who is counting?

Inspiring First Ice Fishing Memories fishing report coverpicture

Minocqua Lake - Oneida, WI Lake Report on 25th Dec, 2025 - 2

Yesterday I had the chance for the third year in a row to take a group of students from Rhinelander High School to go ice fishing. Many firsts on the day included: -First time on a frozen lake -First time starting a gas engine -First time fishing -First fish catch It is so rewarding to be able to share my passion with kids who may not otherwise get the opportunity to do so. Big thanks to Bradley Gumtow and the Ashland Ice Fishing team for allowing us to use some extra shacks and heaters to keep everyone comfortable. The walking conditions have greatly improved after the most recent warm up and rain followed by the quick cold snap. We found anywhere from 5-8” of ice over a shallow bay. Tip-ups with suckers did most of the damage as we were working with cold, blustery conditions... however the wind let up just enough to allow us to grill brats for lunch! Happy Holidays to all!

Due to cancellation, I had the opportunity to fish with my good friends Nick and Danny yesterday. We hit the jackpot and landed 10 Muskies out of two different lakes! This tied my best inland Wisconsin day ever. Fish came on mid sized rubber,jerkbaits, bucktails, and topwater. I will be away from my phone on vacation this week but if you want to book a trip I still have some availability! 262-902-1618 St. Croix Rods Stealth Tackle Team Rhino Outdoors

Fishing in the Northwoods has been fantastic as of late. This giant tiger musky hit the net a little while back but the memory of this fish has not faded. I have some availability in July and August for both multi-species and Musky trips. 262-902-1618

Quick Strike Success with Bradley fishing report coverpicture

Minocqua Lake - Oneida, WI Lake Report on 2nd Oct, 2025 - 4

My buddy Bradley jumped in the boat between travel for work. He wanted to try out the new double pitbull from @muskyinnovations and he caught this one in less than 10 minutes. We had action from 6 fish in the 90 minutes he was able to fish. @stealth_tackle flexible wire leaders are a must when these fish head hunt rubber baits. Fishing has been phenomenal and the weather looks to be rather stable moving forward. Give me a shout for very few remaining dates this summer! #stcroixrods #vilascounty

Unforgettable Father-Son Trip to Canada fishing report coverpicture

October 2, 2025

Minocqua Lake - Oneida, WI Lake Report on 2nd Oct, 2025 - 6

Recently, my Dad (Charlie Buhler) and I got back from a fantastic trip north of the border. We managed 17 fish in 5.5 days of fishing with all 17 being over 40, four 46s, 48, 49, and a 50.5 on topwater! Trips like these are special to share with the person who got me into fishing. Some things to note from the trip: -13 fish on bucktails, 11 in the figure 8. St. Croix Rods Blademaster II was absolutely crucial in executing wide figure 8s to coax these fish into biting. Once pinned this rod is the BEST at keeping them that way all the way into the net. -2 fish on crankbaits. When blades were not producing, a minnow-style crankbait that made contact with structure was crucial in getting those lethargic fish to show themselves and bite as well. -2 fish on topwater (many more lost). Unlike topwater in Wisconsin for me this season, both of my Canadian trips yielded action on topwater consistently. Lower light periods being best. -Stealth Tackle leaders are the gold standard. With all of the abuse that shield lakes put on leaders, I have NEVER had a failure. -Team Rhino Outdoors custom colors of various blades in the 7, 8, and 9 sizes were the ticket to our bucktail bites. Lastly, Sandy’s Blackhawk Island Muskie Camp is the premier spot for musky fisherman to stay when traveling to LOTW. Bill’s camp is beautiful, cabins are clean, docks are safe and protected, and the fishing is phenomenal! I have been traveling to this resort since the age of 9 and will continue to do so as long as I am able. I am already looking forward to July 2026! 🇨🇦 I have just a couple days left available for this season in Northern Wisconsin. October 12th, 19th, November 8th and 9th (weather permitting). 262-902-1618

Minocqua Lake - Oneida, WI Lake Report on 1st Feb, 2025

This one was one of my favorite catches of the year. Jonah started musky fishing for the first time on this trip to Northern Wisconsin. Despite “tough” conditions, he casted hard and stayed confident all day. Although we lost a couple fish and had contact from a few others, we found ourselves empty handed late in the trip. On the last spot of the day, I watched Jonah’s rod tip thump and before words could come out of his mouth, I was in a race for the net. He did a great job staying calm through and awesome fight and before we knew it, he boated this beautiful 43.5” musky! Guiding people to their first or biggest musky has always been so rewarding but the circumstances of this fish made this one even more sweet. I have a few dates left in the months of June, July, and August but filling quickly. Get ahold of me now for your next fishing adventure, it will be here before we know it! 262-902-1618
