Fishing with Hinterland Musky Guides in Northern Wisconsin means spending your day on proven musky water with a guide who truly knows the region. Captain DJ Chupita brings more than 20 years of musky fishing experience and has spent countless seasons learning the lakes of Northern and Central Wisconsin. Every trip is planned with safety, preparation, and attention to detail so guests can relax and focus on fishing.

Trips are run aboard a 19’ Lund Impact powered by a 115 HP Mercury engine. The boat is clean, stable, and well-suited for casting all day, with plenty of room for up to three anglers. With cruising speeds up to 35 knots, Captain DJ can efficiently move between spots and adjust locations based on conditions, weather, and fish activity.

Captain DJ’s guiding style is hands-on and easygoing, making these trips a great fit for beginners, families, and experienced anglers alike. Whether you’re working toward your first musky or dialing in advanced techniques like figure-eights, bait selection, and casting angles, the trip is tailored to your skill level and goals. Fly fishing trips are also available for anglers looking to target musky with a different approach.

All rods, reels, bait, and tackle are included, along with on-the-water instruction and assistance landing fish. When a musky reaches the net, Captain DJ helps with proper handling and makes sure you leave with quality photos of your catch. Guests should bring appropriate clothing, snacks, and a valid Wisconsin fishing license, which must be purchased prior to the trip.

Hinterland Musky Guides is ideal for anglers who value local knowledge, patience, and a guide who enjoys helping others succeed. From quiet back lakes to well-known musky fisheries, each trip is built around current conditions to give you the best opportunity possible.
