I have been fishing Lake Erie's Sandusky Bay for over 40 years and this will be my 3rd year running charters. Last year my charter was featured in Country Living Magazine (5/2016), Ohio Outdoor News (6/3/2016) and in Great Lakes Angler magazine (June-July 2016).

Dennis Oglesby5.0VerifiedNEWGreat day on the water!
6 hour Trip (PM) (6 PAX) • 2 adultsFor it being a "slow day" we still brought in 115 lbs of catfish. the season may be ending down, but it's not over yet! Captain Scott is great and we will absolutely be scheduling another trip with him next year!

4 Hour Trip (AM) (6 PAX) • 4 adultsCaptain put us on fish again! We are repeat customers, we do at least one trip a year. Fishing was great think we had the first one on before the anchor hit the bottom. caught a ton of big ones in the first spot. Then he moved us to second spot to catch the smaller fish for the cooler. Great trip!
Virginia Wilson5.0VerifiedFirst Fishing trip with my grandkids!
4 Hour Trip (PM) (6 PAX) • 4 adults • 1 childOMG. 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!!

What's biting with Captain Scott's Catfish Charter 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.
