Let's talk targets, folks. On this Lake Erie charter, we're mainly after two crowd-pleasers: American Yellow Perch and Walleye. These aren't just any old fish – they're Lake Erie royalty.
American Yellow Perch are the golden nuggets of the lake. These feisty little guys might not be the biggest fish in the sea (or lake), but what they lack in size, they make up for in flavor. They usually run about 4-12 inches, but don't let that fool you – they put up a fight that'll keep you on your toes. Best part? They school up, so when you find 'em, it's game on. Spring and fall are prime time for perch, but honestly, these guys are hungry year-round. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like a fresh perch fry after a day on the water.
Now, let's talk about the crown jewel of Lake Erie – the Walleye. These bad boys are what dreams are made of for many anglers. They're smart, they're strong, and they taste amazing. Walleye can grow up to 20 inches or more, and hooking into one of these is like striking gold. They've got teeth that'll slice through your line if you're not careful, and a fight that'll test your skills. Spring and fall are when they really turn on, but summer can be hot too if you know where to look. The thrill of reeling in a big walleye is something every angler needs to experience at least once in their life.
Listen up, folks – this ain't just another day of fishing. This is your chance to get out on Lake Erie with some of the best guides in the business. We're talking prime fishing grounds, expert tips, and the kind of memories that'll have you grinning for weeks. Whether you're looking to stock the freezer or just want to feel the rush of a big catch, JohnnyBoy Charters has got you covered. But here's the thing – spots fill up fast, especially during peak season. So if you're itching to get out there and see what Lake Erie's got in store, don't wait. Grab your buddies, clear your calendar, and let's make it happen. Trust me, the only thing you'll regret is not doing it sooner. Book now and get ready for a morning of fishing that'll have you coming back for more!

American Yellow Perch are a Lake Erie favorite, packing a lot of fun into a smaller package. Most run 7-10 inches, but lucky anglers might land a 12-incher. These golden fish with dark vertical bars hang out in schools near weed beds, docks, and other structures in 5-30 feet of water. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but perch bite year-round. Anglers love 'em for their aggressive nature and excellent table fare. They're not huge fighters, but they make up for it in numbers - when you find a school, action can be non-stop. For best results, use light tackle and small hooks baited with minnows or pieces of worm. Fish just off the bottom and watch for that distinctive perch bite - a quick series of taps followed by a pull. Set the hook gently and enjoy the fight. Whether you're after a fish dinner or just want steady action, yellow perch are hard to beat.
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.
