Mick Kless5.0VerifiedFish On!
4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass (AM) on May 20, 2024 • 3 adultsScheduled the trip about 6 weeks in advance for my daughter’s 31st b-day. Weather was not good the entire week prior to the trip but was beautiful the day of the trip. The crew worked hard to find fish and try different ways to catch them. My daughter brought in a 20lb striped bass thanks to the hard work of the crew and made her birthday wish come true. Later in the trip she landed a 7 pound bluefish. Thank you Captain Ray and Mate Vinny!
Janelle GrayRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAmazing experience
4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass (PM) on June 3, 2024 • 4 adultsWe booked this for our son who wants to learn everything and anything capt Joe and his crew were top notch, professional, accommodating teaching a 13 year old just starting out that’s more then we expected but the icing on the cake was Tyler reeled in a 48lbs striper and made a memory of a lifetime. We will be back and everyone should book with chasing tails !!!
Clark MaconRepeat angler5.0VerifiedStriped Bass Morning Trip
4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass (AM) on June 2, 2024 • 1 adultWent out for a morning trip with Cpt Ray and First Mate Vinny targeting striped bass. After a slower morning in the bay, the guys made the choice to head out in search for trophy bass and did not disappoint. Easily the biggest striped bass I have ever caught. Overall great guys to hang on the water with and very knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone to book!

Great trip
4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass (AM) on October 14, 2023 • 2 adultsWent on a fall striper run in some iffy weather. Fished in the ocean side off of Sea Bright and Sandy Hook. Big bass around. Caught and released a 44-inch striper that weighed about 30 pounds. Wow! Caught two more big ones. We had a great time with Captain Joe and Billy, his mate. My son will never forget reeling in his first truly big fish. Fall striper fishing is great in NJ. Recommend it to everyone.

4 Hour Trip – Fluke (PM) on July 11, 2023 • 4 adults • 1 childWe had a great time! Capt. Joe was very knowledgeable on places to fish. He made a special stop so we could scatter some ashes. First Mate Nick was great with helping get the lines baited and very attentive as we were fishing. His filleting skills are second to none! We would highly recommend this charter.
William WeissRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHalf Day Striper Trip on Chasin’ Tail
4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass (AM) on October 31, 2022 • 5 adultsWe had an awesome day today on Chasin’ Tail with Captain Ray and Billy. The crew searched hard for fish until we found them. Once we did it was lights out on topwater action, 20+ fish landed amongst the 3 of us….can’t wait to go again!
