Mark Lorenc Charters LLC

Mark Lorenc Charters offers seasonal trips for trophy fish in Lake Erie, departing from Dunkirk, New York. The captain moves his boat so you will be able to catch the most active trophy gamefish on the eastern-end waters of Lake Erie. He’ll do what it takes to put you on the fish all season long!

Step aboard a 22’ Skeeter boat, powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine and a 9.9 HP trolling motor. The boat can comfortably accommodate up to four guests and comes equipped with two Humminbird Helix 12 Chirp/SI depth finders, a GPS, and two VHF radios. There is an I-Pilot electric trolling motor fitted, along with an in-line planer board system with twin triple rod holders, a live bait tank, and an ice-box for the refreshments, or your catch.

Mark Lorenc Charters operates from different ports on the eastern end of Lake Erie. Choose your trip according to how much time you want to spend on the water. Mark Lorenc Charters offers four and seven-hour packages for Smallmouth Bass, Trout, Perch, and Walleye. The season starts in April and goes through October, fishing every day of the week.

For your fishing adventure, Mark Lorenc Charters will provide rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait. If you decide to keep the catch, the captain will clean and fillet it for you after the trip so that you could take it home and taste for dinner later. Feel free to bring your own food and non-alcoholic beverages with you (preferred). Please note, that smoking is not allowed on board!
