This month Musky Shop would like to feature one of our local guides: Matt Raley. Matt runs a successful guide business in the Northwoods of Wisconsin fishing mostly in Oneida and Vilas county. The Musky Shop is proud to have Matt on our guide staff as he would definitely be considered a pro fisherman and one of the best fishermen in the country. Matt is a multi-species guide and is always on top of all fish locations and their movements. Matt can and does guide for many species however his passion is Musky Fishing.
As a professional fisherman Matt and his tournament partner Nate Osfar are one of the best if not the best Musky Tournament teams to ever compete in Musky Tournaments.
