 2201 Little River Neck Road, North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582, United States

Tail Finder Fishing Charters runs angling trips out of North Myrtle Beach and offers to show you a fishing adventure filled with Southern hospitality and fun!

Capt. Cody, alongside his brother Chase, want to create a customized experience to fit your needs, so let them know what you want! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like trolling, jigging, and spinning. You’re looking at 4 to 5-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, and Shark, depending on the weather and time of year.

During your outing, you’ll fish in many spots, including Cherry Grove Beach, Little River, Sunset Beach, and the surrounding Shallotte area. You’ll try backwater creeks, dock/structure fishing, the jetties, and nearshore fishing all depending on the season. You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 22’ Pathfinder boat that can safely take up to 5 anglers. This boat features an ice box and a wireless trolling motor.
All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Tail Finder Fishing Charters.

3 Hour Fishing Trip on June 18, 2025

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.

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.

5 Hour Trip (AM) on June 2, 2025

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.

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!

Growing up in the Carolinas all I have ever known is to hunt and fish. With my passion for the outdoors I wanted to create a business where I could share it with others and put them in the best possible position to be successful while fishing with us. I want to share what I have learned over the past 20 years of fishing along with providing an unforgettable experience on the water.
