Abby Fishing Charters 

My mom took me and my daughter out on this trip for my daughter's 12th birthday. Captain Andy and Scott were so wonderful in making the day easy and fun for all of us. They went over all of the safety stuff quickly and thoroughly and got us out to their best spots on the lake right at sun up. We really appreciated their physical assistance reeling in some of the bigger fish, and by the end of the morning they were gutting and filleting 48 lbs of fish for us to take home. I can't wait to go back out with them next year!

We had a fantastic fishing trip! Our group of five all had a great time, and we caught plenty of salmon and trout. The captain and first mate were friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help, making the experience enjoyable for everyone. We would definitely recommend this charter and would love to fish with them again!

Capt Andy and First Mate Scott worked hard to help us catch 2 coho salmon and a big, beautiful steelhead trout on a day that other boats came home empty. Boat was comfortable as we trolled. Fish were cleaned by the time we got back to the marina. Excellent outing.

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!

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!

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 for a fun, laid back day on the lake.

Just recently Memorial Day weekend, We had the pleasure of fishing with Andy aboard the Abigail. Our target was silver salmon or cohos as they are commonly called. I cant even to begin to say that he and his first mate were on the fish and had good ideas where to find them. We hit our limits both mornings by 8am. We were super happy and excited. We came from KC for the weekend. Andy let us use his vacuumn sealer to prepare our fish to fly back home. Highly recommended for sure. We had a great time fishing with Abby Fishing Charters and would book again.

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.

This was my first fishing charter and it was an awesome experience. Captain Andy and First Mate Jim were great guys. Very knowledgeable and easy to get along with. The bite was a little slow, but the fish we caught made up for it in size. 10 out of 10 trip. Fully plan on booking with Captain Andy again.
