Perch
Perch fishing around Port William, Ohio, means focusing your efforts on the freshwater lakes and reservoirs in the region, like Caesar Creek Lake. The absence of saltwater means adapting your tactics to these inland waters. Prime time for perch is during the cooler months, particularly late fall and early spring when they school up in deeper water. Look for them near submerged structures or drop-offs. A local secret is to use small jigs tipped with wax worms or minnows; perch in this area are particularly fond of live bait. Pay close attention to your depth finder, as perch tend to suspend at specific depths. Public access to Caesar Creek Lake is readily available, with boat ramps and shoreline fishing areas. Be sure to check the Ohio Department of Natural Resources regulations for size and bag limits, as they can vary. The perch in this area are known for their excellent table fare, making a successful trip a rewarding experience.
