Mark Lorenc Charters specializes in trophy fishing on Lake Erie, cruising out of the Small Boat Harbor in Buffalo, New York. Captain Mark is very familiar with the local waters and can trailer his boat to fish the hottest spots in the area targeting local favorites like Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Perch.

Enjoy your trip with Mark Lorenc Charters aboard a 23' Warrior boat, which comes powered by a 350 HP Yamaha engine. The vessel provides a comfortable fishing space for up to four guests. It is rigged with top-notch navigational electronics, which include three Garmin depth finders, two Garmin forward facing sonars, marine radio, and GPS. Also on board are an electric trolling motor, an in-line planer boards (for Walleyes), a live bait tank, and an ice-box to keep the catch fresh.

Mark Lorenc Charters offers half and full-day trips on Eastern Lake Erie. Captain Mark specializes in rod-in-hand fishing techniques to catch trophy sport fish. When targeting Walleye, he bottom bounces with his own hand-made worm harnesses. For Yellow Perch and Smallmouth Bass, the captain prefers very light tackle.

A trip with Mark Lorenc Charters comes inclusive with rods, reels, tackle, live bait, and lures. As well as that, the captain provides the cleaning and filleting service for whatever you want to keep and take home with you. If you want, you can feel free to bring your own food and non-alcoholic drinks (preferred). Please note, that smoking is not allowed on board.

Half Day Trip (AM) on May 27, 20262 adults

Marks knowledgeable and easygoing. Explains safety. Boat is comfortable. 4 hrs was more than enough. We caught 3 Heafty sized walleye on Lake Erie last hour and half. Mark Got us to the Fish ! It was our first time out in the open water but won’t be our last . We learned so much about the sport with Mark and really enjoyed ourselves. Mark also cleaned and filet our walleye for us and we brought home our catch! Mark provides all needed just bring yourself, your company and get ready to catch fish and enjoy.

. As always, it was a great trip. A little bumpy on the big lake, but we still, managed to put some fish in the boat.

Caught some nice smallmouth with some sheepshead thrown in. The new boat is exceptionally nice. Very smooth and very well equipped. Can't wait to do it again!!

Caption Mark sets a standard that I compare all other Captions I fish with to !
Full Day Trip on August 4, 20252 adults

My 2nd year fishing with Caption Mark and we are already planning for next season ! I do many fishing charters a year for all different species across NY and PA....this Charter is by far one of my favorites ! Caption Mark knows his equipment and fishery like the back of his hand and not only gets you on fish but teaches you at the same time ! He's a pleasure to fish with ! Bring your kids, bring your family this is one relaxing great time ! The fact that we have had a 3 man limit 2 years straight before 11am is just a bonus to the amazing trip !
