Captain Scott’s Catfish Charter invites you to enjoy Lake Erie fishing at its finest. With just a quick boat ride to a calm fishing area, you will be ready to bait the hooks. Captain Scott is a patient and professional guide, who knows the area like the back of his hand. Kids are especially welcome to join: there is nothing better than putting a smile on a child’s face!

Enjoy your fishing trip with Captain Scott aboard a 24’ Tracker pontoon. Originally built in 1986, the vessel was fully uphauled in 2015 and is ready to get you to the fishing grounds in comfort and style. Perfect for accommodating up to six anglers, the pontoon is wheelchair accessible and has a private bathroom on board.

Captain Scott’s clients catch an average of 50 to 100 pounds of Catfish per person without fighting the rough waters of the main lake. These fat monsters reach a weight of 20 pounds and put up the kind of fight that will put a smile on your face. The trips are four and six hours and the captain has customized the packages to suit any angler’s need and budget.

An adventure with Captain’s Scott Catfish Charter comes inclusive with all the necessary equipment you need to make outstanding catches possible. You will be provided with high-quality rods, Penn spinning or Zebco push button reels, tackle, and bait. If you decide to keep the catch, it could be cleaned at an additional fee. You need to bring a fishing license, sunscreen, your camera, snacks, and non-alcoholic drinks.

Book your family-friendly adventure with Captain Scott’s Catfish Charter – it’s “reel” fun!

Captain Scott waa great. We took a short trip to the bay and started catching fish as son as we anchored. The kids had an absolute blast and everyone was pretty amazed at how many catfish we were able to bring in. Kept enough for a big fish fry, released more than I could count, and were really excited with the big cats that the kids brought in! If you’re looking for a good catfish charter, THIS IS IT.

We had a slow day which was really just happenstance given the cold weather and slow current. We still got 5 huge catfish though and we each got our new personal best. Scott met us at the dock and was great. It felt that he was really trying to get us fish the whole time and in the end he did so it was an awesome experience.

Captain Scott was fantastic! Even late in the season he put us on the fish and we were catching keepers! I would definitely use his service again.

Captain Scott is the king of Sandusky Bay. We had a great time and caught a ton of fish. I highly recommend this charter if you are in the Sandusky area.
