Wally J Fishing Charters is your premier charter for Walleye and Perch in the Au Gres area. Let Captain Jason Kaniszewski take you out for a great day on the water.

We specialize in Walleye during the early spring and summer months, and Perch during the late summer and early fall.

Trips with Wally J Fishing Charters are great for kids, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Kids are half price with a paying adult! (We can discuss kid's pricing when we talk prior to the charter.) If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, there's one on board. You're welcome to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

You'll be welcome aboard a 22' Skeeter with a 350hp Yamaha that can carry up to 5 passengers. It is equipped with top of the line graphs, GPS, and trolling motors.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait will be provided if that's what the fish are requesting that day.

Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a Michigan fishing license for everyone age 16 and over in your group.
This information is available online.

It's recommended to bring sunglasses, sunblock, and plenty of drinks. We do have a separate cooler for food, so the catch of the day isn't swimming around your sandwich! Rain gear and additional layers of clothing are always a good idea, too, because Mother Nature is crazy sometimes. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor, as well as glass bottles.

    great trip!

    Half Day Trip on June 21, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Josh was friendly and welcoming. Within the first hour we were already pulling in nice-sized walleye! The action stayed steady the whole trip and hit the limit on walleye. Everything was well-organized, the boat was clean and comfortable. The half-day was perfect for us, plenty of fishing time to make it worthwhile. Will be booking with this captain again, without hesitation.

    Above and beyond!

    Half Day Trip on July 28, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain Jason was amazing! With the patience of a fourth grade teacher (because he is one), he was great with our 10 year old. He even had to get out of the boat and get wet trying to untangle a fishing line from the main prop, and he never got frustrated with us. We caught over a dozen fish and had a wonderful time. Thanks Jason for a great experience!

    What an awesome day! Jason was our guide, and his passion for fishing, the area, and preserving the resource for future generations really made the trip special. We all hit our limit on walleye. Jason made sure everyone had a chance to catch their own. Highly recommend this experience!

    Half Day Trip on August 16, 2025 • 5 adults • 2 children

    Had a great time with Jason. Brought a crew of novices with me and he took care of everything. He made everything easy. Despite some choppy conditions and three teenagers, we had a great time and made it back with loads of walleye. 10/10 recommend.

    Wonderful experience!

    Half Day Trip on June 3, 2026 • 2 adults

    My wife and I had a terrific day fishing with Captain Jason. Fishing started out a little challenging to locate the walleye but the Captains knowledge and experience put us on them and we both caught our limit with really nice fish. We highly recommend Wally J and Captain Jason for a fun trip!

    We’ll be talking about this for years to come!

    Half Day Trip on June 4, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

    I took my two grandsons 9 and 7 - Captain Jason was an expert but also patient, kind and so helpful to the boys! We caught our max fish limit in just three hours—memories made and a great adventure to talk about for years to come. Worth every penny!

    Tough early but Jason kept working until we got our limit!

    Half Day Trip on May 25, 2026 • 2 adults

    Jason was great. Tried a spot early but soon figured out that it wasn't the spot then kept moving until we found fish. Overall great experience and lots of walleye for the fryer! Will sign up again!
