If you're ready to experience fishing in Lorain, look no further than Net Earnings Charters. Your guide for the day is Captain Paul, which allows you to benefit from years of angling experience.
Depending on conditions, you might hook into Walleye, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and who knows what else! On these trips, you can expect to troll.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
Your adventure begins aboard a 27' Sportcraft fish master that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready 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 will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect. Don't leave home without sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that daydream into a reality, with Net Earnings Charters.

Bryan Pope5.0VerifiedGreat first experience fishing Lake Erie
PM 4 hour (half day) on August 9, 2026 • 3 adultsGrowing up in Florida fishing saltwater, our crew of three wanted to experience fishing Lake Erie. We were looking to catch some walleye as we have never even seen one before. Captain Paul did a wonderful job putting us on some within minutes of setting up the lines. We found him friendly and a very knowledgeable angler. We highly recommend him and plan to book another trip.

Shawn E Sheehan5.0VerifiedLake Erie Walleye Fishing
PM 6 hour (full day) on June 27, 2025 • 6 adultsWe had an excellent fishing experience with Captain Paul on Net Earnings Charter. The afternoon trip started with a safety briefing then a nice boat ride ou aboutv10 miles from Lorain. As we started to set up for trolling a storm was blowing in. Captain Paul swifty made the decision to head back into the docks to seek refuge. We were given an option at that point to reschedule or let the storm pass and give it another try. We opted for the later. We headed back out when the storm passed carefully navigating the churned up waters for 10 miles to resume our trip. The waters calmed as we headed out and by the time we set up to troll the lake chop was perfect for fishing. At first the bite was a bit slow but as the day progressed we found ourselves working as a fine team bringing in 6 full bag limits. I HIGHLY recommend this Charter business and I will certainly be fishing Net Earning Charter with Captain Paul again. He can put you on the fish for sure.
Daniel HudepohlRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFantastic Trip
PM 4 hour (half day) on July 24, 2025 • 3 adultsHad an amazing time with Captain Paul on Net Earnings. He put my wife, son and me on the fish right away. In less than ideal, scorching-hot conditions we limited out while the radio traffic indicated others weren’t as fortunate. Captain Paul is kind, attentive, caring and knows how to fish. Even landed a nice bass we released for another lucky angler to catch. Amazing and memorable trip. Thanks!
Jordan Nichols5.0VerifiedBest charter you’ll find !!
AM 4 hour (half day) on July 19, 2025 • 4 adultsAbsolute best charter we’ve ever taken. No more shoulder to shoulder fishing for us!! We will continue to book with Paul. The bites were slow due to weather but Paul was persistent to find them and we ended up coming home with our limits. If you want a personable guy who takes pride in the sport and making the trip actually enjoyably, he’s your guy. Thanks Paul!
Ben Utterback5.0VerifiedGreat Day with a Great Captain
AM 4 hour (half day) on August 3, 2025 • 4 adultsWe went with Paul on a 4 hour walleye trip today. It was myself and both of my daughters’ boyfriends (22 and 20 yrs old). Boat was spacious and didn’t rock much at all. We caught 21 walleye that we kept—around 8 were not quite to size. Paul was very knowledgeable and super friendly with all of us. Really glad we found him!

Despite rough waters, Captain Paul Kruft did everything he could to make "the catch"! He was friendly and notified us early of the rough water. His boat was perfect for our small group and could maneuver the water well. We didn't get out from the bay as far as he normally would have, but he knew the water and the fish! We had as many as 10 lines in the water and caught enough to make our day. More importantly, our grandson caught a "Fish Ohio", a "28 incher", and finished our trip on a high note! We would highly recommend booking with Net Earnings!

I have been on alot of charters over the years with many different Captains. Net Earnings is by far the best I have ever been on and the only charter service I will ever book with. Every trip with Paul we are on the fish fast and the bite is always on.
I have been on four different charters now and I recommend Captain Paul over any of them. He is really knowledgeable of the area. We was on the fish instantly and hit our limit. Great down to Earth guy. Highly recommend.
