I am planning a 3 day trip to downtown Chicago on October 14th to check out some museums and thought it would be a good opportunity for our family to hire a charter boat and do some salmon fishing. I emailed one charter service and he said he was going to be shut down the week prior. Although he did tell me to contact another charter service. A couple of questions; 1. Is this the wrong time of year to try this? 2. If the time of year is still ok, do you have any recomendations on a good reliable charter? 3. We are not driving... We will not be able to atke the catch home with us... Can it be shipped to our homes? Thanks for any input! deerslayer
