Lake Erie Perch Fishing Charters

Yellow Perch are of the abundance in Lake Erie and widely considered to be one of the more tasteful freshwater fish. The Lake Erie Perch is a yellow-gold fish with dark-striped sides and grows to be up to 15-inches in length – and perfect for a fun family outing.

When a school of perch goes into a feeding frenzy, the fish can provide anglers with plenty of action, with the reward of a nice cooler of fine tasting fish for supper.

Perch fishing can be very simple. Their small size, abundance and aggressive attitude make them a popular fish for young anglers.

Perch Fishing Tactics

Lake Erie Perch are not picky eaters, especially when feeding. We’ll find a school of perch on our electronics, then simply anchor over them. You’ll be using perch-spreaders with two hooks on each line baited with Emerald Shiners.

A favorite fishing method is to hook the shiners through the tail, not the mouth. Baiting shiners in this manner allows them to move and wiggle more on your hook and attract larger perch.

When Emerald Shiners do not work, we use other live baits such as larvae, night crawlers, wax worms, and grubs. Perch also enjoy cut bait like crayfish and perch eyes.

Anglers should lower their spreaders to the bottom and, lift it up a bit and simply wait for a bite—we let the minnows do the action. Another popular method is to use crappie rigs in the same manner.
