Gus Mantey

Gus Mantey, owner of Sug’s Fishing Guide Service out of Vilas/Oneida counties of Northern Wisconsin and co-host of the Muskies On Tap podcast. I’ve been fishing all my life and specifically in the Eagle River area since I was 7 years old. I cut my teeth on the Eagle River Chain which has taught me to be diverse and handle lots of fishing/boating pressure. I’ve taken those skills to the PMTT accumulating many accolades with my brother in a short couple years. Teaching others the ways of musky fishing is my main passion and enjoy sharing this through guiding.
