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, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 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!

    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!
