With 8 guys, walleye fishing would be more enjoyable for all to go on two boats, For perch one boat is fine, and depending on the time of year, April / May you want to start in the Bass inlands area and as the waters warm, June /July, move east to Geneva Conneaut harbor, July/ August Elk Creek to Eire, all of the lake produces great walleye fishing its just some places get outstanding with the summer heat and the water clarity.
The perch fishing has really been hit and miss for the last couple of years, go with the walleyes, you will not be disappointed.
Thanks for the details jimy. Forgot to mention it will be a trip with college buddies and wives/ kid. Not real serious but would like the social aspect with refreshments. Catching some fish would be a definite bonus. I would like to be on one boat. What scares me though is the head boat experience with a bunch of idiots and/or aholes.
