Best salmon fishing ever!
5/5
I have been fishing for over 45 years, and chartered over 100 trips and this was the best trip I ever had. The captain and his mate were so friendly, it was like going fishing with old friends. I recommend them for families. They made my son and wife feel like they were part of the team. Thank you for a great day!

Anthony & Par are great knowledgeable guys, they provided boat, bsit gear and gave great direction on what to do. Caught walleye, perch, crappie, big ass carp and as they call the sheepshead "waukegan walleye"! My grandson had a blast and we will be booking with the boys again this year ! I can't say enough about these guys, class act!

Captain Andy and Scott were great hosts, and we caught some of the biggest King Salmon we (and they) have seen! Would definitely recommend the trip with Andy and crew!

5 Hour Trip with Captain Andy, Abby Fishing Charter
5/5
Beyond amazing Captain and Crew. Captain Andy and First Mate Jim were awesome! My daughter and friend were first timers and Capt Andy and First Mate Jim made it memorable for them. I hadn't been salmon fishing since before covid and gave Captain Andy a try and I made the right choice! They were beyond entertaining and super knowledgeable about the waters they are fishing, all the way down to the "blueberry muffin" lure.
I will definitely be using Abby Fishing Charter again!
