Catch Lake Erie's most prized treasure and enjoy Catfishing to the fullest with Captain Scott's Catfish Charter! Captain Scott is a seasoned fisherman who loves to share his knowledge of the sport with others. Your guide has been fishing in this area for over 40 years and loves to share his expertise with others who are eager for a trophy-size catfish. Captain Scott loves to teach kids how to fish. On each trip he can easily make it into an adventure for the whole family—handicapped anglers are no exception; everyone gets a rod!

 

Your boat for the day will be the Tracker Pontoon fishing boat powered by a 115HP Mercury big foot engine with a maximum cruising speed of 30 knots. The pontoon was built in 1986 and fully overhauled in 2015. Offering a safe and reliable ride, this boat can accommodate up to six anglers, including wheelchair users—and comes with a private bathroom!

 

You'll mainly target Channel and Blue Catfish that are good eating sizes and also admirable trophies—once you find a good spot, you'll anchor down and fish close to the aquatic vegetation. Captain Scott's Catfish Charter comes equipped with all the necessary equipment that will help you make exceptional catches.


You will be equipped with the best rods, spinning reels, and bait available. Cleaning of fish if you wish may also be arranged at an additional fee. You will need to bring a fishing license, sunscreen, a camera, snacks, and non-alcoholic drinks.


Captain Scott's Catfish Charter offers an experience that will make you want to come back. Choose your date now!
