'I've been a fisherman my whole life. I love fishing on Lake Erie, and enjoy introducing others to the fantastic fishing here.' Captain Nick Cook grew up just 2 hours from the famous Lake Erie, so a love for water has always been in his blood! At 20, he considered joining the Coast Guard, but a friend asked him to travel to California with him. He said yes – which kid doesn't want to go to sunny California?! Next thing he knew, he was 35 years old and traveling across the country with his workplace. He met his wife and took her to Lake Erie, and she immediately convinced him to move back. In October 2018 they relocated permanently, to raise their daughter on the lake and so that Capt. Nick could pursue his passion of running fishing charters. He uses his 20+ years of knowledge and experience to introduce his guests to these incredible waters, and he can't wait to welcome you on board.

    Good Time

    3-4 man morning half day • 4 adults • 2 children

    The weather didn't help us at all and the waves got rough. Capt.Nick did a great job and still put us on fish. Even with 5-6ft waves we still caught 4 and kept 2 with 2-3 getting away. We.ended the trip early due to kids getting sick but will definitely be back go again. Great Captain and Clean boat. Highly recommend!

    Reported catch:
    Walleye

    Great family memories!

    3-4 man morning half day • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had a great time fishing wth Vitamin Sea fishing! I was afraid the heat might spoil the day but we got started early and started catching fish quickly. Captain Nick was great! He was patient with the whole family, keeping everyone involved. He even showed my son how to clean the fish.

    Reported catch:
    Walleye

What's biting with Vitamin Sea Fishing Charters in Sandusky

It gets colder in October, but there's still a good chance of tempting Walleye and Perch into biting, and Bass action is solid as well. Get some smelly bait and head to the bay – chances are, Channel Catfish will find your offering irresistible.
