Epic Tails Charters is the premier inshore fishing charter out of beautiful Hudson, FL, offering affordable, family-friendly fishing charters and sightseeing trips that highlight Florida's beautiful wildlife and stunning views. Our charters cater to everyone, from beginners to experienced anglers. Captain Chris has over 25 years of experience fishing in the Hudson and Tampa Bay areas. He provides guidance on fishing techniques and supplies all the necessary gear, including poles, tackle, and licenses. We use light tackle, making it easier for beginners to target popular species. Inshore fishing occurs in waters less than 5 feet deep, making this an ideal trip for children and those prone to seasickness. Nearshore fishing is not too far from land. 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

Join us for the opportunity to catch some of Florida's most sought-after fish, including Redfish, Snook, and Trout. The beautiful mangroves, grassy flats, and white sand beaches provide the perfect environment for countless fishing opportunities. Additionally, anglers may have the chance to catch Sheepshead, Flounder, Jack Crevalle, Mangrove Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, and even small sharks. No prior experience is necessary. We will assist you with baiting your hook and casting your rod if needed, making it suitable for all ages. We’ll also clean and fillet your catches for you.
Your fishing adventure will take place on 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. Call or text directly 352 403 l668

Full Day Inshore Trip

Hands Down Best Day Fishing

13 minutes ago New If you’re looking for a fishing charter you have to go out with Captain Chris with Epic Tails Charters! This was our first time going fishing and we were a little nervous. Captain Chris made us feel at ease and we had a blast the entire trip. He was very knowledgeable and patient especially when I kept getting my line stuck in the trees. Watching my kids have such a great time catching fish for the first time was priceless. You can definitely see Captain Chris’s passion in what he does that’s for sure. I highly recommend Epic Tails Charters. We will definitely be coming back!

Half Day Inshore Trip

Half Day trip with Captain Chris

Last month we were visiting in Florida and decided we wanted to get out and enjoy the water. My wife recently had surgery so we we didn’t want to do a lot of fishing but wanted to do more sightseeing. Captain Chris did a great job. He is very knowledgeable about the area and showed us all about the area. We even had manatees come up to the boat as well as saw a few dolphin and many birds. The boat was in tip top shape with plenty of room and very comfortable. Next visit we will do some fishing. I highly recommend Epic Tails.

They even came right up to the boat. We even saw some dolphin. I highly recommend Epic Tails. Captain Chris did a great job giving us a tour and was very funny and informative.

A great day on the water.

The Captain worked really hard to find the biting fish. This time of the year it isn’t easy. We caught 4 redfish, a trout and a bird. We decided to call it a Hudson slam. The scenery was beautiful. We saw a manatee, dolphins tearing up some fish, a turtle and a roseate spoonbill.
