Re: 2012 Fishing trip
Kieper is an animal. The guy will literely fish 20 hour days if it calls for and catches great fish for WI waters. He is based in the Hayward area.
Where do you want to fish in WI? What part of the state? What are you looking for....quantity or quality as they usually don't go hand in hand. Please keep in mind if going for quality there is a chance of not catching a fish at all for anyone in the boat. Heck there is a chance to not have anyone catch a fish going for the smaller ones but most guides can and will get you on some action if that is what you want.
I can give you some names based off that info. Know a few guides pretty well that are "off the radar" that do quite well and others that advertise a lot but charge accordingly.

Re: 2012 Fishing trip
This trip is really for my son, something for him and I to do prior to him going into college.
I would like for him to land something(decent fish) in the boat and take a few pictures. Make the trip memorible and fun for Nick.
Nothing high pressure but at least the possibiity to catch fish.
As far as where in Wisconsin, you tell me? Northwest area would be good in the idea we have our property in Vernon county that way we can make it to Hayward area(?) and on the way home we swing west alittle then south pass through Vernon Co.....etc Really doesnt matter, just looking for an opportunity to spend a good day or two on a lake with my son and good guide.
Quanity or quality.....lets catch some fish...maybe a good for a picture...

Re: 2012 Fishing trip
Hayward it is. I really have little backround in this area but will recommend from what I've been told. Really no particular order. I may have some name spelling wrong.
Scott kieper. Heck of a fisherman and high strung. Younger guy that will fish until he drops and do it again the next day. Has a knack for big fish.
Dave dorozio. Old school guide with 40 years of stories. Reliable and level headed.
Ty sennett. Good calm natured guide with a lot of experiance on the chip flowage.
Tanner wilde. Fun guy that can fish and laugh. He fishes out a lot but the WI Minn boarder. Will have to see what he has going on in the hayward area.
Pete mania. Don't even know if he guides anymore. Has his hand in a lot of different things with tv shows and such. Great guy and fisherman that is funny as heck. Almost got to fish with him once but it fell thru.(Many years ago)
Good luck and have fun.

Hodag,
Do think you can forward information to me to my e-mail (rricher007@yahoo.com) in regards to Scott Kieper.
Wonder if he will be at the show next weekend?
Thank you
Robert
