If you're ready to start fishing in Lorain, book a trip with Pork Chop Express Charters. With Captain Samuel at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Walleye, and plenty more. On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll. Ask the captain where you will launch it could be between lorIn ohio and port clinton ohio for beat fishing.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Your vessel for the day is a 28’ or 30’ new aluminum fishing boat with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Samuel has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You may have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    6 Hour Trip – Walleye (PM) on May 24, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    After a couple of days of bad weather, the fishing was tougher, but our captain worked hard to get us our limit.

    Good trip

    6 Hour Trip – Walleye (AM) on July 15, 2026 • 2 adults

    Even though the water was rough, we caught our limit and was working on the captain's limit. Advertised that they cleaned the fish but then didn't because they were in a hurry to leave that day. Will try them again next year but hope they are not in a hurry to leave town again.

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.
