Lake Erie is famous for its walleye and perch fishing, and for good reason. These waters are teeming with fish, and the JohnnyBoy crew knows exactly where to find them. You'll be using a mix of techniques to target these prized catches. For walleye, we might do some trolling with crankbaits or nightcrawler harnesses, depending on what's working that day. When it comes to perch, we'll likely be dropping lines with minnows or small jigs tipped with soft plastics. The best part? You'll learn these techniques as you go, picking up skills that'll serve you well on future fishing trips. It's not just about catching fish – it's about becoming a better angler with every cast.
Walleye are the crown jewels of Lake Erie fishing. These golden-eyed predators are known for their tasty fillets and the fight they put up on the line. Spring and fall are prime walleye seasons, but summer can be hot too if you know where to look. Walleye tend to hang out near the bottom, so we'll be targeting them in depths of 15 to 30 feet. When you hook one, get ready for a battle – these fish can grow up to 30 inches and weigh over 10 pounds!
Yellow perch might be smaller than walleye, but they're no less exciting to catch. These feisty little guys travel in schools, so when you find them, it's non-stop action. Perch are most active in the cooler months, making them a great target for fall fishing trips. They typically range from 8 to 12 inches, but don't let their size fool you – they're some of the best-tasting fish in the lake. Plus, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of pulling up a stringer full of perch after a good day on the water.
There's something special about fishing Lake Erie that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the thrill of battling a big walleye as it tries to dive deep. Or the simple pleasure of filling a cooler with tasty perch for a fish fry back home. Whatever it is, Lake Erie has a way of getting under your skin. The JohnnyBoy team has seen it all – from first-timers catching their first fish to seasoned anglers landing personal bests.

American Yellow Perch are scrappy little fighters that pack a lot of fun into a small package. Most run 7-10 inches long, perfect for a quick fish fry. You'll find schools of them hanging around weed beds and docks in 5-15 feet of water. They're active year-round, but spring and fall are best. Anglers love perch for their tasty white meat and the fast action they provide - it's not uncommon to catch dozens in a sitting. These guys aren't picky eaters, so small minnows or pieces of worm on a light jig usually do the trick. Here's a local secret: if you find one perch, there's bound to be more nearby. Once you get them biting, it can be non-stop action. Just remember to check your local regulations on limits - these fish are too good to overfish.
Walleye are the real stars of Lake Erie. These golden-olive fish grow up to 30 inches and 20 pounds, but most are in the 2-5 pound range. They hang out near the bottom in 10-30 feet of water, especially around rocky areas and drop-offs. Spring and fall are prime times, but night fishing in summer can be hot too. Folks love targeting walleye for their tasty white fillets and the thrill of the catch - they put up a good fight on light tackle. To boost your chances, try slow-trolling with nightcrawler harnesses just off the bottom. When you feel that distinctive tap-tap, set the hook hard. These fish have tough mouths, so sharp hooks are key. With some patience, you'll be reeling in dinner in no time.
