What types of perch fishing trips are common?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for perch as well as lake fishing, river fishing, and inshore fishing.

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

How much does a perch fishing trip cost?

Prices for perch can range anywhere from about $450 to $1,720, but the average price for a half day trip for perch is $862. The average price for a full day trip for perch is $1,190.

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?

The most popular season for perch fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 93 days in advance.

    Had a great trip with TJ this morning! We brought in over a dozen hybrids. Look him up if you are in the Lake Norman area.

    Trip: Tight Lines and Big Smiles

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time. The fish were not biting but our captain Muscles tried his hardest to put us on fish. The time of year was just not the best for fishing. We did catch a few nice size Rock fish. You can't beat a day on the water fishing with friends. The crew had good conversation and tried multiple spots to get the fish on hooks. We appreciated the effort and the atmosphere. Thank you Muscles, Scott and Wayne was with us in spirit.
