Tail Finder Fishing Charters

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.

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.
