Half Day Trip (AM)

We had a great time on the boat. Left the dock on time, boat was very clean. Joe was fast getting lines out and had a trout on the second line out within 10 minutes!! Joe was a great guide and did his best so we could all get our limit. It was nothing but laughs the whole time we were out on the water!! We will be planning another trip with him in August. Highly recommend to book with Chasin’ Tails. Looking forward to our next trip!!!

Thank you so very much for giving us the chance to create a memory that you won’t soon forget. I’m very happy that the weather played nice and the fish also wanted to play. The triple at the end of the trip was definitely the icing on the cake. I’m so happy that you all had a great time and I can’t wait to see you again.

Twin boys at 11 years old catching twin sized lake trout at the same time and landing them both. Memories for life!

AMAZING MORNING!! I am still in shock over the chain of events that led up to an absolute epic morning! Thank you for booking with us and allowing us to be a part of a very special trip. We will see you in September to target big lake trout. Thank you again.

Half Day trip with Captain Joe

Had a great half day with Joe on his charter boat. Joe’s boat and equipment is top notch and meticulously maintained. Joe himself is as friendly and personable as he can be. He even contacted me pre trip to find out what kind of cake he could provide for my boyfriend’s birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed our morning out. More fish would have been great, but that’s the way it sometimes goes. We came in with a nice Coho and a beauty of a lake trout. I’d highly recommend Joe and would choose... More

Capt Joesph and 1st Mate Marty were great. They explained everything well and we could tell the experience alone made the trip worth while. Then the fun started, the fish were biting. Reeling a fish from 200’ made my day and then to see a 17 lb monster was a “treat” to remember. If you want some fun look up “Chaising Tail” for your next charter. Mary and I thank you for a great time!

Afternoon with Captain Joe

We had a beautiful day after a colossal storm that left the lake with debris and cloudy waters. The fish were not biting. Nonetheless we caught three lake trout. Our grandson was delighted. The Captain regaled us with stories about Lake Superior and Mel, his mate, was friendly and helpful. We loved being on the lake in his comfortable boat and highly recommend a booking with Chasin’ Tail.
