Joseph Kottke
Chasin’ Tail Charters MN offers professional Lake Superior fishing charters tailored for anglers of all levels in Duluth, Minnesota. With Captain Joseph at the helm, guests fish one of the most productive cold-water fisheries in the Great Lakes with a veteran local guide who understands seasonal patterns, weather shifts, and where the fish are holding throughout the year. This is the best way to experience Lake Superior salmon and trout fishing without any guesswork or preparation.
Target species vary by season and include Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, Walleye, Brown Trout, and more. Spring trips often produce Coho Salmon and Lake Trout as the fish push shallow with warming temperatures. Summer brings deeper trolling programs for Chinook Salmon, Lake Trout, and Brown Trout. Fall transitions into strong salmon activity close to shore as the fish stage near river mouths. Captain Joseph monitors the lake daily to keep guests on the most productive patterns.
Your trip takes place aboard a 32’ Tiara motor yacht designed for comfort and fishing efficiency. The vessel accommodates up to 6 guests and is equipped with downriggers, outriggers, sonar, radar, marine electronics, rod holders, and a full trolling spread. There is also an onboard restroom for longer trips. All rods, reels, lures, and terminal tackle are included, and the captain maintains the gear to ensure smooth action for every angler on board.
Fishing techniques in Duluth vary widely, but trolling is the primary method for salmon and trout on Lake Superior. Guests can participate as much as they want in setting lines, watching rod tips, and reeling in fish. First-timers, families, and experienced anglers are all welcome. Kids are encouraged to join, and the captain provides coaching to make sure everyone is comfortable and engaged.
Guests must purchase a Minnesota fishing license before departure. Licenses are available online and are simple to obtain. The captain can provide guidance if needed. A small cooler for drinks and snacks is allowed; alcohol is permitted in moderation.
If you’ve been wondering what fish are biting in Duluth, when salmon run on Lake Superior, or how to successfully catch trout near the shipping channels, booking a trip is the easiest way to experience it firsthand. Chasin’ Tail Charters MN puts you in the right place at the right time with the equipment and local knowledge required for success.

Joe and his first mate went above and beyond for this trip! We boated 13 lakers, including a few lunkers. It was an amazing day with the family. Can’t wait to book a spring trip next year.

My husband, wife, and two adult sons had an amazing time with Chasin' Tails, choosing them based on previous reviews. Captain Joe and First Mate Cam made the experience fantastic. The fish were deep, but we successfully filled our limit while enjoying great conversation and a few drinks. We were so impressed that we’ve already booked a trip for May 2026. Thanks again, Joe & Cam!
