What types of perch fishing trips are common in Ohio?

Lake fishing is the most popular type of fishing for perch in Ohio as well as river fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Ohio are artificial lure fishing, light tackle fishing, and live bait fishing but trolling and jigging are popular as well.

How much does an Ohio 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.

    Trip: Lake Erie Walleye Run

    Captain Bob went above and beyond trying to put us on some fish. Eventually we were able to pull some in. Not the mother load but a great time just the same! My 9 year old is now hooked (yes pun intended) on walleye fishing. Thanks, BJ, Beth, and Gus

    Sean was a super cool guy, really knows his stuff we caught our limit in August when other people were not. He has a very clean boat and nice equipment. Also does a heck of a job cleaning the fish for you. I highly recommend Sean.
