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!

First Fishing trip with my grandkids!
4 Hour Trip (PM) (6 PAX) on June 8, 20263 adults1 child
OMG. What a perfect day! Thank you for all your hard work helping getting the many fish we caught today. Both my grandsons were so excited to go on this trip and I can say they were not disappointed. We caught so many fish that before the end of the day I booked another trip! Thanks for a great memory!!

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.
