Ready to reel in some of Lake Erie's famous yellow perch? Our 7-hour private charter is your ticket to a day of non-stop fishing action.

Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, our experienced crew will make sure you're in on the action from start to finish.

What's the Scoop?

Our fall perch fishing charters kick off bright and early at 7:30 AM. We'll load up our spacious, fully-equipped sportfishing boat and head out to where the perch are biting. The beauty of Lake Erie in autumn is something else - crisp air, calm waters, and fish that are hungry and ready to bite. We provide all the gear you need, from rods and reels to bait and ice for your catch. Just bring your fishing license, some snacks, and maybe a light jacket for those crisp morning hours. By the time we dock in the afternoon, you'll have a cooler full of perch and a boatload of new fishing stories to share.

Perch Fishing 101

If you've never fished for Lake Erie perch before, you're in for a treat. We use a technique called "bottom fishing" - pretty simple stuff, but man, is it effective. We'll rig up with spreaders or crappie rigs, baited with minnows or worms. Then it's just a matter of lowering your line to the bottom and waiting for that telltale tap-tap-tap of a hungry perch. When you feel the bite, give a quick lift of the rod tip, and you're on! These fish might not be huge, but they're feisty and fun to catch. Plus, when the bite is on, it's not uncommon to pull up two or three at a time. We'll show you the ropes, help you perfect your technique, and before you know it, you'll be hauling 'em in like a pro.

The Main Attraction: Yellow Perch

American Yellow Perch are the stars of our fall fishing charters, and for good reason. These golden-hued beauties are not just a blast to catch, they're also some of the best-tasting freshwater fish you'll ever sink your teeth into. Lake Erie perch typically run between 8-12 inches, with the occasional "jumbo" pushing 14 inches or more. Fall is prime time for perch fishing, as the fish school up and feed heavily before winter sets in. They're aggressive eaters, which means fast action for anglers. And let's not forget about the "Erie Dearie" - that's what locals call a double or triple header, when you reel in multiple perch on one line. Trust me, once you experience the thrill of an Erie Dearie, you'll be hooked for life.
