Smity Bait & Guide Service

For over 50 years, Russ and Jake Smith, have been guiding fishermen to some of the best spots for Musky, Northern Pike, Walleye, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass and Bluegills in Wisconsin’s Oneida, Vilas, and Price counties. At Smity Bait and Guide Service, we provide rods, reels, tackle, life jackets, and a camera – everything you need. Families and large groups are more than welcome – we have several expert guides on staff help with big groups. If you want to make your fishing trip into a real Northwoods adventure, we offer a shore lunch option. We will cook your catch of the day over a campfire, complete with traditional fish fry sides.

Smity Bait and Guide Service also offers America's most complete line of Musky Bait & Tackle. Our baits are proudly handmade in Minocqua, WI. Find our baits at the local bait shops when you are in town!

Smity Bait and Guide Service was founded by Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame Guide, Russ "Smity" Smith in 1970.
