Ready for a fishing trip that'll have you hooked? Our No Limit Perch Trip out of Dexter is the real deal. We're talking 6 hours of non-stop action, chasing after yellow perch and smallmouth bass. This isn't your average day on the water - it's a chance to fill the cooler and make some serious memories. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, we've got everything you need for a killer day of fishing. So grab your buddies, pack your sense of adventure, and let's hit the water!
Here's the scoop: We kick off at the crack of dawn, 6 AM sharp. That's when the fish are biting, and trust me, you don't want to miss it. We're out there for a solid 6 hours, giving you plenty of time to get your fill of fishing. The best part? There's no limit on perch. That's right, catch as many as you can handle - and keep 'em all! We run this show from June 1st to December 1st, so you've got a good chunk of the year to get in on the action. At $450 for up to 4 people, it's a steal for a day of world-class fishing. And hey, if plans change, no sweat - you can cancel for free with 7 days' notice. We've got live bait and artificial lures covered, but if you've got a lucky lure, bring it along. This trip is all about putting you on the fish and letting you do your thing.
Alright, let's talk strategy. For perch, we're usually working the bottom with minnows or small jigs. These little guys love to school up, so once we find 'em, it's game on. We might do some drift fishing or anchor up on a hot spot. For smallmouth, we switch gears. These bruisers love to hang around structure, so we'll be casting near drop-offs, rocky areas, or weed beds. Soft plastics, crankbaits, or even topwater lures can get them fired up. We'll show you the ropes, but feel free to bring your own tricks. The key is staying flexible - some days they want it slow and steady, other days it's all about a fast retrieve. We'll figure out what's working and stick to it. And remember, in fishing, there's no such thing as luck - just skill and persistence!
Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you - these stripey little fighters punch above their weight class. Averaging 8-12 inches, with some jumbos pushing 14 inches or more, yellow perch are the bread and butter of many lake anglers. They school up in big numbers, so when you find them, it's non-stop action. Best of all, they're delicious. There's nothing quite like a fresh perch fry after a day on the water. They're most active in cooler water, so early morning and late season trips can be red hot. When the bite is on, it's not uncommon to catch dozens in a single outing. That's why we call it the No Limit trip - fill the cooler and enjoy some of the best eating fish around!
Smallmouth Bass: Now we're talking about a true freshwater sport fish. Smallies are known for their acrobatic fights - once hooked, they'll leap clear out of the water trying to throw the hook. They typically range from 1-4 pounds, but trophy fish over 5 pounds aren't unheard of. These bronzebacks love cool, clear water and rocky habitat. They're ambush predators, so fishing near structure is key. The thrill of feeling that tell-tale 'thump' on your line, followed by a smallmouth's signature head-shaking fight, is what keeps anglers coming back year after year. While we practice catch-and-release for bass to keep the population healthy, the memories of battling these hard-fighting fish will last a lifetime.
Listen, I've been guiding these waters for years, and I still get excited every time we head out. There's something special about Dexter's inshore fishing scene. Maybe it's the thrill of finding a school of jumbo perch and watching your clients light up as they reel in fish after fish. Or perhaps it's the heart-stopping moment when a big smallmouth crushes a topwater lure. Whatever it is, this trip has a way of turning first-timers into die-hard fishing fanatics. The variety keeps things interesting - one minute you're finessing for perch, the next you're battling a hard-charging smallmouth. And let's not forget the scenery - there's nothing like watching the sun rise over the water as you cast your first line of the day. It's not just fishing; it's an experience that stays with you long after you've docked.
Alright, let's cut to the chase. If you're itching for a day of non-stop fishing action, this is your ticket. We're talking about a trip that combines quantity (all the perch you can catch) with quality (hard-fighting smallmouth bass). It's perfect for friend groups, family outings, or even a solo angler looking to hone their skills. Remember, we provide all the gear and know-how - you just need to bring your A-game and a good attitude. Spots fill up fast, especially during peak season, so don't wait to lock in your date. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-timer, we'll make sure you have a day on the water you won't forget. So what are you waiting for? Grab your spot on the "No Limit Perch Trip" and get ready for some serious rod-bending action. Trust me, your only regret will be not booking sooner. Let's make some fishing memories!
Yellow perch are a fun, tasty target that school up in our local waters. Most run 7-8 inches, but you might land a trophy over 12. Look for them around weedy areas, docks, and other structure in 5-15 feet of water. They're active year-round, but spring and fall are prime time when they move shallow. Perch put up a decent fight for their size and are excellent eating - mild, sweet, and flaky. Kids love catching these colorful fish, and their abundance means consistent action. To boost your odds, try small jigs tipped with worms or minnows. When you find one, there's usually more nearby, so work the area thoroughly. Ultralight gear with 4-pound test line adds to the fun. Just remember, these guys have sharp spines, so handle with care!

Smallmouth bass are hard-fighting fish that'll test your skills. They average 2-3 pounds but can top 5 in our waters. You'll find them around rocky areas, submerged logs, and drop-offs. Early morning and evening are prime times, especially in summer when they go deep to stay cool. Spring and fall, they're more active in the shallows. Smallies are known for explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps - hang on tight! They're also great eating if you choose to keep a few. To entice a bite, try crawdad-imitating lures or tube jigs dragged along the bottom. When you hook one, be ready for a battle. These bronzebacks don't give up easily. A medium-action spinning rod with 8-10 pound line is perfect for most situations. Remember, a slow, steady retrieve often outperforms aggressive presentations when targeting smallmouth.
