Lake fishing is the most popular type of fishing for perch in Michigan as well as river fishing and nearshore fishing.

How much does a Michigan perch fishing trip cost?

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for perch fishing in Michigan?

The most popular season for perch fishing in Michigan is summer, and most anglers book their trips 37 days in advance.

    Trip: Lake Michigan Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Kurt and his Dad were great guides. Very personable and worked really hard for us to have a successful day. The first day was hard fishing with the wind. We did not catch but a couple of fish but not do to their lack of trying. Somedays it is indeed fishing not catching. Our second day made up to it. We caught 3 muskies and 5 small mouth, lots of perch and a nice walleye. Great guys that went above and beyond.
