Lake Erie Perch Fishing Charters

Join us for an exciting Lake Erie adventure targeting one of the lake’s most delicious species — yellow perch. Departing from Anchors Away Marina in Lakeside Marblehead, our perch charters give anglers of all skill levels an unforgettable fishing experience on one of the nation’s most productive freshwater fisheries.

Perch Season and Locations

Lake Erie’s yellow perch fishery is a favorite for anglers during late summer through fall — typically from July 1 through October 31 — when schools of perch move into shallower waters near the Western Basin. This timing aligns perfectly with our Anchors Away Marina departure point in Lakeside Marblehead, Ohio 43440, making it ideal for day trips from Port Clinton, OH, Marblehead, OH, and surrounding communities.

During this prime perch season, Lake Erie charters often locate concentrated schools of perch that can result in limit catches. Anglers frequently use spreader rigs baited with emerald shiners or minnows, which can produce multiple catches on the same line — especially when fish are actively feeding.

What Makes Perch Fishing Special

Yellow perch are prized for their delicate, mild flavor, making them one of the most sought-after freshwater catches. Perch typically range from about 8 to 12 inches, with anglers catching their daily limits (which can be up to 30 perch per person depending on Ohio regulations).

Whether you’re a family looking for a fun day on the water or an experienced angler chasing high-action perch bites, our charters provide:

• Expert local guides familiar with Lake Erie perch hotspots

• All rods, reels, bait, and tackle included

• Family-friendly charter experience

• Flexible scheduling and custom trip options

Departures change seasonally, starting from Anchors Away Marina in Lakeside Marblehead, giving you the best perch fishing opportunities throughout the season.
