trip description for Lake Erie Catfish Special in Port Clinton

Although Lake Erie is better known for its excellent Walleye and Perch fishing, the catfishing here is a true hidden gem! Captain Scott is an expert when it comes to hooking big cats here in Ohio, and he loves putting his clients on trophy fish! Captain Scott’s clients catch an average of 50 to 100 pounds of Catfish per person, without even venturing too far from the shore! These fat monsters can reach up to 30 pounds and fight hard enough to challenge even experienced anglers. To catch these lunkers, you'll be using a variety of baits, which Catfish love. Whether you've been catching cats for years or are still a beginner, Scott will make sure you have the right gear and bait to hook a big one. Both Blue Cats and Channel Cats make their home in the lake, and you'll have a great shot at catching both species on the same trip. You'll be fishing aboard Captain Scott's 24' Tracker pontoon boat, which is the perfect vessel to relax and fish all day. She has a covered top to keep you out of the sun, and comfy seating for up to six anglers. All the gear is provided, so all you need to do is show up! Please remember your Ohio fishing license and proper clothing. Read More
