Great trip!! Captain worked extremely hard to put us on the fish. We caught a bunch even when seeing other boats not catching. Captain used all resources they had to make locate and identify the fish. First mate was great! Friendly knowledgeable. 10 out of 10!! Can’t wait to go again and hammer those striped bass!
Scheduled 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!
Chartered Chasin' Tails and they did not diappoint. Captain Joe was very personable and patient with my kids. We were on fish all day and i would recommend him and his boat for anyone looking for a charter down the Jersey Shore.
We 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 !!!
Went 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!
