rest of your time fishing for other species or decide if you want to return to the dock for an early departure.
Badman Charters is an experienced full-time charter service with 38 years of experience on the lake that prefers to only run one trip each day. This in turn always gives anglers a full day of fishing on Lake Erie!

Perch update for population success often translates into great perch fishing
Update on the Yellow Perch population in Lake Erie.  Important to note that perch fishing success in the western basin of Lake Erie around the islands and west has been very good. The perch population is still going strong.   Anglers are catching perch whether they're fishing from their boat or on a perch charter!  Regardless, good numbers are being caught almost daily, this is where you'd want to be for perch.

You won't want to miss out on some mid-summer prime perch fishing beginning in late June through July.  Some of the most enjoyable days on the lake for the family.  Children of all ages who can turn the handle on a reel will be helping to make a true family experience, as well as just have a great time.
