Pork Chop Express Charters is here to help you catch your personal best, trophy-size Walleye and Perch. This Great Lakes charter service provides fishing trips on Lake Erie in Ohio. Captain Sam Downing (Pork Chop) primarily covers water from Port Clinton to Lorain and we could launch anywhere in between those towns. Make certain to ask the captain where you should arrange your hotel accommodations. He loves teaching people how to fish, helping them create lifelong memories, and showing them the quality of fishing in this area.
The boat you’ll be fishing from is a 27’ or 30’ new aluminum boat accommodates up to 6 guests and there’s enough room for everybody to fish at the same time. She’s fully equipped with a Garmin Electronics package and top safety gear. As she’s powered by a strong 400 or 600 hp suzuki engines, rest assured you’ll reach your fishing spot quickly.
Capt. Sam trailers the boat so you can use docks between Oak Harbor and Lorain, depending on where the fish are located, the time of year, and the weather. You will know a day or two ahead of time what will be the meeting point for your trip.
You can troll, drift, cast, or jig (in the spring) – the choice is yours. You can also choose the time that suits you best – morning or second trip on one-hour notice.
The captain provides everything needed for fishing from rods and reels to bait. Catch cleaning and filleting are available at an additional price. Sometimes the captain can fillet the fish at some ramps for $2 per fish otherwise he will direct you to a local fish cleaner where you can have them cleaned. You’ll need to bring your fishing license, proper clothing, food and drinks, and a cooler for them. Don’t forget motion sickness medicine if you know you’ll need it.
From complete novices and the kids to experienced pros, you’ll have a great day fishing with Pork Chop Express in search of some Lake Erie gold.

This was our first charter fishing experience. We had a wonderful time. We caught the max allowed for 5 people. (30 I believe was our total). We hope to return and do this again. Maybe next time we will try for fall so we can go for perch. A very memorable experience for our family. Definitely recommend.
Thank you Gwenn!! Caleb enjoyed your crew, glad everyone had fun! see you next time!!
Captain Samuel and Captain Caleb were great! On the way to the fishing location were entertained by original songs that had Captain Samuel singing country! All about Pork Chop Express and fishing. Great singer! The boat was exceptional with comfort, space and state of the art equipment.They both made it easy to catch walleye! We caught our limit and they had good size. We had a great time and if you want to catch fish book with Pork Chop Express Charters.

Capt. Samuels grew up in western Pennsylvania and was introduced to hunting and fishing as soon as he could hold a rod and a gun. He remembers fishing with his dad on the Allegheny River where he would night fish for Sucker and Catfish as a little boy. They moved on to wading the streams fishing for Trout, learning the finesse techniques of fly fishing, and the patience involved with the sport. As the captain grew older, they ventured to the Great Lakes in New York and Pennsylvania to fish for Salmon and Steelhead creating great memories. Capt. Samuel went into the Air Force and ended up stationed in North Dakota where he was exposed to Walleye fishing on Devils Lake. He fell in love with the challenges of catching Walleye. Several years later, he ended up living in Michigan surrounded by tremendous Walleye fishing opportunities. He purchased a Lund boat, gained knowledge and experience, and decided to upgrade to his North River and get a charter license to share what he's learned.
