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!

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.
