Lake Erie Charter Fishing Tip #02:
Perch come inshore to spawn every spring. A simple bobber and worm or live/salted minnow is the most popular method of catching Perch from Docks. Boat anglers, usually fish near bottom with egg sinkers and 2-3 hooks baited with minnows and worms. It's not uncommon to land 2 or even 3 fish at once, when the perch schools are thick.
