YOUR DAY ON THE WATER
Yellow Perch Fishing on Western Lake Erie
Yellow perch fishing on western Lake Erie is a great way to spend time with family and friends. From August through October, Captain Dan offers private perch fishing charters departing Meinke Marina-West in Curtice, Ohio, along western Lake Erie between Toledo and Port Clinton. Whether you're an experienced angler or fishing for the first time, you'll enjoy a hands-on fishing experience targeting Lake Erie's popular yellow perch.
Captain Dan provides the fishing rods, reels, tackle, and bait needed for your yellow perch charter. While five-hour trips offer an enjoyable day on the water, the seven-hour charter is recommended for guests who want more time to locate and catch perch. Yellow perch fishing can require patience and sorting through smaller fish, so additional fishing time can be beneficial.
