Catfish are definitely a secondary species on Lake Erie, however, there is some really good fishing for catfish in Sandusky Bay. There are a lot of anglers who go out and fish for them in the bay since you have a real shot of catching channel catfish that weigh over 10 pounds and on some trips, you could get several of them. Catfish are found throughout the lake in the bays and harbors as well as some tributaries too.
