    Fishing with Cody

    3 Hour Fishing Trip on September 30, 2026 • 2 adults

    It was a beautiful day! Captain Cody was a very polite and knowledgeable captain!! Unfortunately, I only caught toad fish, while we didn’t keep them, it was a fun challenge reeling them it! Mark had a big red fish but he got away. A few minutes later, he had him again! He went around the entire boat with Cody and he reeled him in!!! We switched spots and mark caught 2 ? Tilapia? Cody cleaned them for us and we went to a restaurant named crab catchers! They cooked our fish and had delicious sides for 10.99 each It was wonderful! Thanks again Cody!!!

    Excellent and personable Captain!

    3 Hour Fishing Trip on December 21, 2025 • 3 adults

    Beautiful day on the water. Captain Cody was very personable and polite. His boat was very clean. He even had an iced down cooler ready for us to keep drinks and snacks cold. Great experience. Nobody had much luck on the water but he made every effort to get us to the best fishing holes for the best results. He even traveled to get the best bait for us to use for fishing. When we wrapped up our day, he cleaned our fish and referred us to a great place that would cook them up for us. Phenomenal place to eat. All around it was a fun experience, one we will never forget. Much appreciated.

    Awesome morning on the water.

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on May 20, 2026 • 2 adults

    Cody was great. My wife and I got a call from Cody to confirm we were ready to fish and comfortable with the meetup location. Cody is a cheerful hardworking guide. Cody put us on the fish right away. The flounder bite was a little slow so we went and caught some big red drum, was tough to find one small enough to keep but we did it. Cody is knowledgeable of the area, seasons, bait and tackle. Highly recommended.

    Big Bull Drum

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on September 25, 2026 • 5 adults

    Cody put us on the flounder right away but they were just a little too small. We headed out to the inlet jetties where we made the other boats jealous and slayed some big drum.

    Vacation charter for dinner.

    3 Hour Fishing Trip on June 18, 2025 • 3 adults

    Before our trip Captain Cody kept in good communication with me. On trip day, Captain Cody was on time and gave great directions on where to meet him. On our trip was my 70 year old father and my 17 year old daughter as well as myself. Captain Cody was great with all of us. He took us to a popular fishing spot and we caught a dinners worth of Black Drum. A storm developed while we fished and Captain Cody asked if we had the time to wait it out. His boat and gear all performed great. We had a great trip and highly recommend Tail Finders with Captain Cody.

    Great day on the water.

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on June 2, 2025 • 4 adults

    Caught the limit and had a great trip out. Captain was on point for good spots and no wasted time trying to find bait fish. Captain came prepped with everything we needed and we hit the water straight out. Took some time to warm up but capt moved when it was dry until we hit a good run.

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 25, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    If you like non stop action, Tail Finder Fishing Charters is the one to book !!! Captain Cody put us on doormats from the start! My 6 year old little boy caught his first flounder and it was 27”!! It was one for the memory books.

    3 Hour Fishing Trip on April 7, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

    What a blast we had. Capt Cody knew where to go at the right times to catch Drum and Flounder on this inshore trip. He had excellent equipment and did everything for us minus reeling in the big ones. Awesome time and would recommend Capt Cody!
