Need some info/direction. An event organizer is asking for my input so I figured I would go to the best group of people who would know.

I am with a group that will have 48 people fishing this Friday on 8 boats. We will be fishing out of the catawba area. These are not my fishing grounds (I fish west of the reefs) so this is why I am posting this here. These are all charter boats with captains but it is the first time he has used this group.

In your opinion, which would be better? Walleye or perch fishing?

Walleye
Are there any walleye biting in this area? Even consider Cedar Point area
If so, is it a trolling or casting bite?
Will the average person be able to catch fish if it is a casting bite?
What amount of fish could I expect after fishing?



Perch
Are the perch biting?
If so, how has the size been recently?
What amount of fish could I expect after fishing?

I am leaning toward going perch fishing so that everyone should have a good opportunity to catch fish.

Your input is appreciated
