Perch making splash Plentiful supply, prices plummet - thenews-messenger.com

PORT CLINTON -- Walleye might dominate the headlines in the local fishing community. But its pint-sized prey, the yellow perch, is quietly stealing a few scenes from Lake Erie's summertime star. In fact, the waters are teeming with the tasty fish.

I got a sheet from my supplier yesterday that lists Lk. Erie Perch at $5.95lb. I hear the price might go even lower in the next week or two.


Walleye is getting cheaper too.

I stopped by a fish market at Ludington this afternoon and noticed that the lake perch was over $14.00/lb. No problem, the dumb tourist are shelling out their money no matter what the price is. The shop owner was happy.
