Lake Erie Perch Charter

Perch
Perch fishing techniques consist of anchoring the boat and using minnows on either spreaders or perch rigs and fishing on or near the bottom. A slight up and down jigging action can sometimes result in better catches.

Lake Erie's Yellow Perch limit is 30 per person east of the Huron River. Perch filets make for a hearty, tasty meal that is arguably the best tasting fish in the lake!
Dr. Bugs Charters will always go the extra mile to ensure a successful fishing trip.
