Noah,

Within an hour will be tough. Probably the best lake close to Sandusky would be Clearfork (it's within the same area code) by Lexington, OH. Taking a straight line route, you're 1 1/2 hours away due south of Sandusky.

Your better option would probably be the Detroit River/Lake St. Clair - which is Michigan/Ontario waters.

Sandusky Bay and East Harbor have excellent bass fishing (largemouth and smallmouth); you can't go wrong around the islands, too - Kelleys and South Bass - depending upon the type of boat you have and cooperative winds. Walleye is the targeted species up there for the most part and the bass are plentiful.
