Eastern Tailz 25’ contender bay
Inshore or nearshore, South Carolina has plenty of fish to provide you with exciting action. Eastern Tailz Outfitters will put you on the bite, whether you’re stalking the shallows or bottom fishing the coastal waters.
Captain Joe Ziegler welcomes you on board his 24’ Seapro boat capable of taking up to 4 anglers fishing in comfort. Her center console design is well suited to fishing both areas, whether you’re chasing a Bull Redfish or reeling in a Kingfish.
Capt. Joe can take you on a quick 3-hour fishing trip around Little River – the perfect excursion if you want to get a bit of fishing slotted in your day. Anglers looking to test their fishing skills and spend the entire day hooking up Mackerel, Groupers, Snappers, and the fighting Cobia can book the 8-hour trip.
The catch list doesn’t stop there, you can also target Spotted Seatrout, big Black Drum, and Flounder!
Kids are more than welcome on board, the captain loves sharing his passion for angling with novices. You need a valid fishing license at the ready before coming on a trip.
Remember to pack sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, adequate clothing, and a cooler to take your hard-fought catch home in.
Experience the diverse fishing of South Carolina the right way, by booking a trip with Eastern Tailz Outfitters!

4 Hour Trip with Captain Joe
Our trip was originally booked for the evening. Captain Joe reached out to suggest going earlier because of the tides. We agreed and what a great decision it was. Captain Joe knew my boys wanted to catch a shark and he made it happen. The smile in the picture says it all. After shark fishing for a few hours, we caught our own bait and continued fishing for black drum. It was a great experience for my family. Captain Joe was great guide, is very knowledgeable, and was great with my boys. He answered all their questions…and they asked a lot of them. I would highly recommend Captain Joe. I know we’ll be back. There’s even talk about going back again this week.

5hr trip with captain Joe.
Trip was fun. I talked with captain Joe before we left the dock about what we were going to fish for, and he said it was going to be a tough bite with the muddy water. I asked if he would be able to put my son and his friend on a shark and he did. We weren’t able to land either one, but the kids got to fight a shark and they each loved it. Captain Joe then put us on some flounder and redfish and trout. The two boys caught a few fish each and they were happy. Joe warned us it would be a tough bite and I greatly appreciate that as an avid fisherman. I knew what to expect. Overall, captain Joe was a great guide. I would highly recommend him for a guided trip.

We had a great first experience with Captain Joe. He was very helpful in getting us onto some flounder, weakfish, and sheepshead. We weren’t able to catch any sheepshead but we sure had a good time feeding them! Thank you Captain Joe and we look forward to booking with you again sometime!
