Just heard from a reliable source that walleye limits will remain the same as last year for 2012. Usure about perch though.

Sounds good! 6 0f these fish is plenty per Lisc. Thanks Wakina, Steve
Here is some official followup information. By the numbers it looks like the yellow perch will stay the same also. Here is the link.

Your second link states in the end of the article that Ohio sport fishermen caught only 28% of their alloted amount due to the weather.
Is there anywhere to see what % commercial guys caught of their allocation?
Ohio does not allow commercial fishing for walleyes, they are only allowed to catch perch and rough fish such as carp, suckers, white perch, ect. Ontario is the only area where there is a commercial catch of walleyes on lake erie. I don't know where you could find that information at. Most likely they catch their quota/allocation though.
For those of you who like statistical data on how they arrive at the limits, here is some reading for you! I am not real good at analysing this stuff so I won't be able to answer any questions.
