Big Kat’s Fishing Adventures

Sandusky Bay !! Get ready for an amazing Catfishing action with Big Kat’s Fishing Adventures! Let the captain show you the best fun you can have on Sandusky Bay. He’s a proud owner of a Master’s license and has been fishing this area for years. He’s based in Sandusky, OH, and runs trips from March till the end of November.

While these trips target only Catfish, you can also go after Walleye. Just check out the second listing and find the trip that suits you best.

You’ll be fishing from a 24’ Sun cruiser pontoon. This boat provides a safe and stable ride and she’s powered by a 40 HP Mercury engine. There’s enough room for 6 guests to fish in comfort and kids are welcome to join as well. Equipped with the latest navigational electronics and fishing tackle, this boat has everything you need for your bay adventure.

Catfish are known to be active during the night but this doesn’t mean you can’t go after them during the day. The only difference is you’ll go to deeper fishing spots. The captain will show you how to use heavy tackle and catch these bottom feeders.

These trips are family-friendly and the captain highly encourages parents to bring their kids and help them catch their first fish. It’s a day they’ll never forget!

Your fishing equipment is fully covered, so you only need to purchase fishing licenses and bring some snacks and drinks for the day.

A day with Big Kat’s Fishing Adventures is only a few clicks away!
