Maybe it was the cold snap in mid-July, maybe it was the great crew, we know it wasn’t our expert angling… but whatever the cause, we caught BIG fish and GREAT numbers! The captain was patient out group aged 4 to 74. We caught about a dozen lakers, and a coho and king salmon to boot. We lost a few too on our own account. With the amount of fish we had, we elected to wrap up our half-day trip a half hour early to catch the next lift bridge passing. It took some hustle to get lines in, but Joe... More

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... More

My husband and I totally enjoyed ourselves and Captain Joe was very accommodating and fun.  We caught enough fish to fill my freezer with beautiful salmon.  His boat is comfortable and he is very attentive to what his customers want.  However bring your sense of humor this guy is jokester and if you place a bet with him, beware of the shanagins he comes up with to win.  Highly recommend him and his crew.  Adam was on point every time with the net to bring in our catch.

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.

My family and friends entered Captain Joseph’s boat laughing and experiencing great vibes and we exited his boat laughing and having experienced Captain Joseph’s impressive stand up comedy routine, knowledgeable q&a sessions, and control and devotion as a boat captain! Prior to the trip, I referred him to other people in town, and after the trip, my crew and I are already spreading the word to book Captain Joseph for your fishing guide. All the adults loved his hustle and down to earth personality.... More
