    Worked hard to make our trip a success!

    Late riser • 3 adults • 1 child

    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!

    Great first experience fishing Lake Erie

    PM 4 hour (half day) • 3 adults

    Growing 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.

    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.

Phenomenal shallow water fishing continu

May 25, 2026 • Lorain
We continue to catch a great quality of fish close to shore on spoons! Making for very short runs and the kind of fishing thats "easy for the queasy", this time of year is perfect for those who get sick when running out far offshore!

Big walleye in big numbers!

May 5, 2026 • Lorain
Fishing is just incredible out of lorain right now with lots of big females and a very active bite! Many limits are currently being had and to top it all off, the fish are in pretty close! While fishing will continue to remain fantastic throughout the year, the overall average of size will likely fall a bit. Get on board now to catch some of these big old girls!
