Chasin' Tail Charters

08/09/2025

Short weekend is done.
Thursday evening a wonderful strong south breeze made a 10 mile trip out take about 35 minutes We setup south of Two Rivers in 225. Turned and rode the waves back. As rough as it was, we had one on the set up unfortunately an 1 1/2 later it took to get our second bite. Bonus I left the soda cooler in the truck so no refreshments. We managed to go three for five.

Friday morning it was back to normal, found a pocket of salmon and rainbow. We worked that area nothing fast and furious but we ended up with a nice cooler. Deep Riggers and pumps at 8 to 10 oz 170 to 200 took the majority of fish

Thanks, Tim and Mark for booking. Hope to see you next year.

Always good to have Josh aboard pulling the first mate duties
Thanks mom and dad for the chicken dinner Thursday night and big breakfast Friday morning. Unfortunately we had to cancel our Friday night and Saturday morning. More wonderful South breeze

Another weekend with Chasin’ Tail Charters is in the books. From the great repeat customers to the excellent food/snacks they brought on board and shared. The bite was slow, but we managed to get some in both clients coolers. I even got the 2nd mate to drive us to the piers. 😊 I hope you all had a good time and we will see you again next year! Thanks Brian for helping out and bringing some new Dodgers that I will have to add to my collection.

Hard bite weekend!
Thursday AM - pre fish was a successful trip. Good action, but the bite quit by 7am.
Friday AM - we had a great time putting some nice fish in the box. But worked hard to get it done.
Saturday AM - trip with storms overnight and not getting fish into the net made for a hard morning of fishing. Wind picked up way earlier than expected which only made it worse to stay on fish.
We will be back out next weekend. Thanks Brian and Lance for taking the time to book with me.
Thanks again Brian and Josh with the first mate duties. Both did a great job trying to get the fish to bite.🎣 🐟

Another good weekend of fishing out of the Port of Two River. Thursday afternoon we did our pre fishing and managed to put 6 in the box and possibly lost another 5. Weather was not the best but I finally got some salmon in my freezer. Friday morning was a little rough due to a strong NE wind, plus a good amount of current made the bite tough until we got our speed dialed in. 10 for 14, but it took the entire trip to get John and Devon their limit. Saturday morning was a great day to be on the water with calm seas and a lot of boats to work around lol. 😆 . We stayed clear of the pack and managed a quick 10+2 on the pick up. Back at the dock by 8 AM. Thanks John and Deven for a great weekend of fishing. We will see you next year. Thanks Brian for helping out with the first mate duties.

Another good weekend fishing for Salmon out of Two Rivers.

With a couple days of a Northeast wind, it made it hard for most to venture out. We tried to get out Friday afternoon, but the lake was just too rough.
Saturday morning the ride out was a little bumpy, but the waves manageable on the set up. We only got one salmon, but the fishing improved greatly once the sun was up. Steady action until we pulled lines at 9am. Thanks Dennis for another Father’s Day weekend booking. We will see you next year. Thanks Josh for pitching in with the first mate duties.

It has been long couple of weeks getting the new autopilot installed, but now Chasin’ Tail is ready to fish.

We decided to go out on our 33rd year Anniversary and see if we can still catch some fish and to test out the autopilot. My good friend Brian came along to help out with the rods and do a little lake trout fishing training.

Salmon fishing was excellent. We pulled lines at 7am so we could catch a couple trout for the smoker.
LK trout fishing was pretty good. Ended up 15 for 18 and all by 8:30 am…….I also managed not to loose any teeth 🦷 on this trip. lol. 😝

For our Friday morning trip a good friend and repeat customer Mark, made the trip from Duluth to fish and site see around Two Rivers. He brought out a new guy, Bob, to reel in some Lake Michigan salmon. He did an outstanding job and Mark never disappoints keeping everyone entertained between the fish bite.

Water temp on the surface was warm but had a good thermocline down 70 feet. Reports said deep water was working. Had to run deeper than our normal trips but everything worked out. The strong west wind at the end of the trip and most of the day might change things up..

Thanks Mark and Bob for a good morning of fishing. Have fun with the wives sightseeing and a safe trip back to Duluth.
Hope to see you next year.

Well another weekend is in the books for Chasin Tail Charters.

We took off for two weeks to do our first oversees trip. Now it was back to business on Lake Michigan.
Thursday took out a couple friends to make sure everything was in order on the boat and a little practice setting lines with my good friend and dock partner Brian. Need to work him into the first mate spot when Casey or Josh would be not available.
From everyone we talked with before heading out, the fishing slowed down a lot and a northeast wind that blew the day before was not a promising report to say the least.
Thursday night 4:30 pm to 7:45pm. One hit on a downrigger was all we had to start with for Friday morning trip.
Friday morning’s weather was in our favor so we worked the waypoint from the day before. Nothing fast and furious, but we put some good fish in the boat.
Saturday morning trip we decided to work the same water with very similar results. Action was good but shut down at 7:30 am both days. So get out early.
Thanks Josh and Brian for filling in on the first mate position. Thanks Brandon and Cal for booking and see you next year.

Sorry I didn’t get all the pics as we usually do, but a little busy working baits to get on fish. 🐟

Our first overseas adventure is ready to begin. All checked in and have 1 1/2 hours until take off ✈️

At the beginning of the week, it looked like old Mother Nature was not planning for a weekend of fishing out of Two Rivers. After talking it over with my good friend and repeat customer, the group decided to roll the dice and make the 5 1/2 hour drive to fish out of Two Rivers.
Well, Friday A.M we managed to get a limit just before the wind really picked up. Plus a bonus of 2 more on the pick up. Bumpy ride back to the dock with a stiff south breeze to make it interesting.
Decided to watch the weather and see if Saturday morning would be a go. Fortunately, the 3am weather forecast looked promising with winds diminishing by 6am. Decent size swells from the night before but more than fishable. Plus for a Saturday very little boats ventured out. We set lines at 4:30am. Decent action as soon as we set in. Had our limit by 8am.
Thanks John for all the snacks and good stories between the fish bite.
See ya next year. 🎣🐠🐟

Due to a late cancellation Friday morning I was able to do some pre-fishing with my parents and daughter. The weather was cooperative, and the fishing and action was steady. My first mate (her brother) and my daughter were able to bring in a 25 lbs king. This trip allowed me to fill up my own freezer. Haha.
