What types of perch fishing trips are common?

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

The most common fishing techniques are artificial lure fishing, jigging, and light tackle fishing but live bait fishing and ice fishing 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 $853. The average price for a full day trip for perch is $1,155.

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 29 days in advance.

    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

    Trip: Prime Time Lake Erie Walleye

    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.
