If you're ready to enjoy fishing in Duluth, book a trip with Chasin' Tail Charters MN. With Captain Joseph at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters hold game fish like Lake Trout, Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Walleye, and more. You can expect to do some trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

You'll be dropping lines from a 32' Tiara motor yacht that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Joseph will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Some essentials to bring are a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that daydream into a reality, with Chasin' Tail Charters MN.

Great Trip!
Half Day Trip - 12:15 PM on July 14, 20262 adults3 children

My wife and our three young children went out for an afternoon trip with Captain Joe and his first mate Cam! They handled our sassy daughter and energetic smart a** boys very well with good banter and professionalism! They put us on fish in a July afternoon and was exactly what we were looking for and more with the kiddos along! We will definitely use them again when we are in the area!

Great captain and 1st mate. Very smart captain
Half Day Trip - 12:15 PM on August 23, 20254 adults

We had 2 fish in less than 30 minutes. Know one else had any fish yet. It was a windy afternoon and Happy Hooker (Peter) torpedoed us head on so he could copy our route. Not good outcome. We had no choice to run over his planner board and rope ended up around our lines and down rigger cables. What a mess. We were left with no lines in water for a hour. Joe got us back on course and caught 5 more fish. If you don’t want to catch fish go with happy hooker. They came up empty! Great job Joe!!!

Absolutely the best Captain & Crew even for a kid with autism!!
Half Day Trip – Weekday Special PM on July 31, 20253 adults

I booked this trip for my husband & 2 sons ( ones autistic), they had such an amazing time, I’d give him 10 stars! They learned a lot about the lake, & caught many fish. This by far was the best money I spent in Duluth. His staff Jack & Fiancé were so kind, great people they can’t wait to do it again. Bonus is they were understanding to my son with autism so that makes a mom proud. ( other boats went out & didn’t catch fish) Thank you all for the memories they made!

Top notch charter trip
Half Day Trip – Weekday Special AM on July 31, 20252 adults

Captain Joe and 1st mate Cam did a great job for my wife and myself. We had lots of action and were able to take some fish home to eat. It was a very well-run trip, Joe has excellent equipment and a nice clean boat, and he and Cam were easy to talk to and provided a fun fishing experience. Joe made my wife feel special (not surprisingly she caught the most fish) and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We highly recommend Chasing Tails.

Great Trip for Trout and Salmon!
Half Day Trip on June 19, 20262 adults

Took my 8 year old avid fisherman on his first Lake Superior charter and caught his first Lake Trout, Coho Salmon, and King Salmon! Had a great time and Captain got us on the bite quickly. He was great at answering questions and getting the fish in the boat!
