Multi-Species Magic with Rob Manthei

We’ve got a very special guest joining us on the water today: John Barmore, a retired Milwaukee firefighter who now serves with the Fire Fighters Union. This trip was donated to benefit Ignite the Spirit, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting Milwaukee firefighters and their families during times of need. John won the outing during their annual Ice Fish-O-Ree fundraiser, and we wanted to make sure it was a day to remember.

To put us on the bite, we teamed up with pro guide and good friend Rob Manthei. While Rob’s passion is muskie, he knows how to find fish no matter the season, and he lined us up on an excellent multi-species bite. Great weather, great company, and plenty of fish — everything came together for an unforgettable trip.
