Epic Tails Charters - Hudson
Get ready for the ultimate inshore fishing adventure with Epic Tails Charters, Pasco County's premier guide service for high-stakes fun and tight lines! We specialize in action-packed, family-friendly fishing trips built for everyone from first-time anglers to seasoned pros. With over 30 years of local expertise, Captain Chris—a USCG-licensed captain and dedicated local deputy—knows exactly where the fish are hiding and how to get them on your line.
Your adventure will take place aboard our custom 2024 Shoalwater 23' catamaran, powered by a Mercury 200-hp engine. With an 8" draft, our boat can navigate shallow waters, allowing you to fish in areas that others can't reach. No experience? No problem! We provide full, hands-on coaching, handling everything from baiting your hook to casting your line. Captain Chris hooks you up with top-tier gear, premium rods, light tackle, and all necessary fishing licenses.
Your private charter is fully customizable to target local species like Redfish, Snook, Snapper, Trout, Flounder, and small shark across the vibrant mangrove shorelines, grassy flats, and local islands.
In addition to fishing, dive into a seasonal scalloping adventure or kick back and cruise the grassy flats, mangrove shorelines, beaches, and islands for a day of sightseeing. You choose your adventure! As a bonus, you may spot some wild dolphins and manatees along the way. Don't forget the camera!
At the end of the day, we even clean and fillet your catch. With no double trips per day, our focus is on ensuring that each day's charter has the best chance of catching fish without the pressure of watching the clock. We handle all the dirty work and logistics so you can focus entirely on fishing and making epic memories on the water. Let the Captain know if you want to extend your trip an extra hour or two while on the water.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out here! Additional contact details will be available upon booking.

Great time on the water, Capt Chris was excellent with my 2 kids, super patient with them, answered 1.2 million questions, and everyone caught fish! Couldn’t ask for a better day on the water. I would absolutely book him again when we come back! Red fish, snook, Tarpon, sea trout, and some others! We caught everything.
Was a pleasure having you guys out today. Thank you for letting me be part of your family fishing day. Those are my favorite days on the water.
Captain Chris and his wife were wonderful hosts. Fishing was slow early but he was persistent and got us on fish. Snook, trout, and redfish in the boat today. Looking forward to doing it again!
We had a wonderful time, you guys were a lot of fun. Cant wait to do it again, thanks for going with us.
Capt Chris and his wife were absolutely outstanding. We not only caught red fish but also saw many other fish and birds. They also have great knowledge about the area and really showed us many cool things.
Thank you so much. It was a pleasure meeting you. cant wait to see you on the next trip.
What could be better? The people Cris and Pam were the most gracious people, immediately putting us at ease. We had the most enjoyable time and Cris really knows his stuff. I would feel comfortable booking with him even if I never held a fishing pole in my life. Book a trip and see for yourself
Thank you so much. It was wonderful meeting you and your husband. Had a great time showing you around and catching some fish. Hope to see you again soon.
Capt. Chris' fishing knowledge, top notch equipment, his easygoing manner, willingness to bait and cast (I wasn't the most coordinated), his enthusiasm about fishing and his genuine desire that you catch fish and enjoy yourself made the trip perfect.
Thank you so much. I had a lot of fun with you guys. Happy Anniversary. Hope to see you again soon.
