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.

    Fishing with Cody

    3 Hour Fishing Trip • 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 • 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) • 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.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish

    Big Bull Drum

    4 Hour Trip (PM) • 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.

    Cody was amazing and was so patient with the boys! He worked his tail off and put us on red drum, black drum, and many more!

    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.
