Jason Gaurkee, Captain at J Line Charters

J LIne Charters will take you to the greatest fishing places in Wisconsin! This team keeps a careful eye on river flow and weather patterns and reaches in which area the fish are.


Captain Jason Gaurkee has his fishing origins traced back to the late 1960s, and his enthusiasm for the sport has only grown since then. He has over 32 years of experience in Lake Michigan, as well as a multi-species world record holder and competition champion. He used to host outdoor television shows including In-Fisherman, The Next Bite, and John Gillespie's Woods and Water. J Line Charters is co-owned by him.


You'll be boarding on a 32' Regicide boat that can accommodate up to 6 people. This boat was recently renovated in 2022 and is powered by a 2 200 HP Mercury engine. In addition to navigation and safety equipment, the boat has a live bait tank as well as a refrigerator. The skipper will take care of your fishing gear and catch cleaning. Bring your fishing permits, as well as some beverages and food for the day. This boat also has a toilet and refrigerator on board to accommodate all your needs.


The majority of your Walleye fishing will be done with light gear jigging but you can also learn fishing techniques such as light tackling, spinning, and trolling. When the springtime Walleye season begins, they migrate to one of Wisconsin's top fisheries, the lower Peshtigo River. The captain constantly keeps track of time, therefore he'll change the method based on whether it's pre or post-spawn.


J Line Charters is a full-service salmon fishing charter based in Milwaukee and the longest-running walleye charter in Peshtigo, Wisconsin in the spring, your group deserves the best guide service there is!
