Mike Mladenik is likely the Midwest's most knowledgeble smallmouth bass fisherman and the region's top guide. Each year his clients land at least 200 - 20+ inch smallmouths, with quite a few six pound hawgs in the count. Although best known for smallmouth bass, Mike also guides for musky and walleye.
Mike's been guiding for over 30 years in Northern Wisconsin. His expertise spans the bounty of rivers, reservoirs and lakes that draw anglers to the area year-round. He derives great satisfaction in teaching technique and location/weather analysis to clients. Mike's not one to hoard a secret; in fact, few guides spend as much time teaching and coaching as Mike does.
In addition, Mike is a contributing author to many national and regional publications, including Midwest Outdoors for which the readership voted Mike one of their top three favorite writers. Mike's instructional and insightful pieces can also be found in Fishing Facts, Musky Hunter, Wisconsin Sportsman, Wisconsin Outdoor Journal, Michigan Sportsman, Wisconsin Outdoor News, and others. Mike has also authored several books and publishes his own magazine.

"Why DO I Fish" Many of my clients have commented to me that I have a dream job. After all, I am on the water almost every day and doing something I like to do. However, does anybody think I would climb into a boat with 25 mph northwest winds, rain, sleet snow, a July day when the high is expected to push 95 degrees or a Holiday Weekend. I don't think so! On some days I do it only for the money. You will laugh as you learn how to catch more fish.

Book Reviews
This one is a must read for all those people who have ever thought to themselves, "Maybe I'll quit my job and become a fishing guide." I laughed 'til I cried reading this book, and, by the last page had decided I'd never make it as a guide-- even if I did know how to catch fish like the author. Mike Mladenik has got to have the patience of a saint to have survived in this business this long and still have his sanity! This would make a great gift for all the fishermen you know.
-- Steve Kaehr, Sheboygan, WI
We have had the pleasure of fishing with the author Mike Mladenik twice and enjoyed it so much that we arranged for our son and grandson to fish with Mike...he is an excellent guide...he knows the area very well...his description of some of the characters who have hired him as a guide was hilarious....I recommend this book for those who do enjoy fishing and would highly recommend booking a fishing experience with Mike ...you are bound to catch some fish with him enjoy his stories as well.
-- Jo and John FIncato of Newark, Ohio
“...Mladenik speaks the truth! This book is an accurate journal of the experiences and thought processes of a veteran Wisconsin fishing guide.
Mike pulls no punches talking about some of the knobs who pay you to put them on fish and the great enjoyment found in sharing the boat with repeat clients. If you’ve ever wondered what guiding is like “All in a Day’s Work” will put your mind in the boat without getting your body wet, cold, sunburned or hooked…”

"CATCHING BIG SMALLMOUTH" Mike has over 30years of experience catching big smallmouth. In "Catching Big Smallmouth" Mike reveals patterns for rivers, lakes and reservoirs. This book is a must for any angler looking to catch a trophy class smallmouth bass.
"Northwoods Walleye" In Northwoods Walleye, I follow the seasonal patterns for catching walleyes in lakes, reservoirs and natural lakes. The angler will learn the prime time to fish a specific type of water and choose the best presentation to catch those often finicky walleyes. A guide soon learns to keep things as simple as possible so the client can have an enjoyable day on the water. Many anglers make fishing too complicated and end up catching less fish. Successful walleye fishing is neither complicated nor mysterious. If you fish walleyes anywhere in North America, this book will help you put more fish in the boat. These tactics have worked for me for four decades and they should work for you.
