This was such a great adventure for us first-timers on a fishing boat! Captain Andy and co-captain Scott were so helpful and educational. We learned technique, about fishing in the great lakes, types of fish, and how fish are replenished. It was a good day for us and we took home a great haul. The boat is clean and well equipped, and Andy cleans and fillets all the fish. We can’t wait to do it again in 2026!

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!

I chartered a 6 hour boat with 5 of my friends (all in our late 20s) with Captain Andy and it was a great experience. Andy was very responsive in setting up our trip and worked with us to understand what we were looking to catch to ensure we had a great experience He is knowledgeable about where to fish and a pleasure to charter a trip with. He is very easy to talk to, and works hard to ensure you catch as much fish as you can while having a great time. I would recommend if you are looking... More

Captain Andy found the fish when not many boats were catching the volume that we caught. 15 Coho and 1 Steelhead - 3-6 lb range. Not many big ones but hopefully next time. Andy was flexible with timing of the trip. We were heading from shore by 5 a.m. so we could be back to shore by 10 a.m. and make it to the Cubs game. Thanks and looking forward to next time.

Captain Andrew was very knowledgeable and even though fish were scarce he was able to put us on a few giant salmon we got a total of around 40 pounds of filet. Definitely going again in the spring. Thank you to Scott also you were on it.
