Why is it a Guide Service and not a Charter?
Good day, I'm Chris the Owner/Capt of Tails Up Guide Service. I have grown up here in Myrtle Beach and have been fishing the waters of the low country since I was knee high to a grasshopper! With over 25 plus years of experience from fishing weekday local tournaments to some of the bigger pro tournaments I have made the outdoors my life.
Good day, I'm Chris the Owner/Capt of Tails Up Guide Service. I have grown up here in Myrtle Beach and have been fishing the waters of the low country since I was knee high to a grasshopper! With over 25 plus years of experience from fishing weekday local tournaments to some of the bigger pro tournaments I have made the outdoors my life. The highlight of my outdoor career has been coaching both of my daughters in the High school SALTT fishing league to which they have been very successful. When not at work as a professional Firefighter I can be found knee deep in a swamp chasing deer, hogs and alligators or out on the water chasing my favorite quary the Redfish. I started Tails Up to pass my passion on to others and to give you guys and girls the chance to experience the amazing times that can be found on the water! I truly believe that one look at a Carolina sunrise on the bay can fix anything.

Why call it a guide service when most call it a charter? I was asked this question when I began the process of starting Tails Up. To me it was an easy decision. When I think of a charter the first thing that comes to mind is a packed boat heading out to meat fish with a final goal of fish in the cooler and money in the company's pocket. S
Why call it a guide service when most call it a charter? I was asked this question when I began the process of starting Tails Up. To me it was an easy decision. When I think of a charter the first thing that comes to mind is a packed boat heading out to meat fish with a final goal of fish in the cooler and money in the company's pocket. Someone who is charge of a boat that prefers Captain over their first name., more or less a job and a business. That's not me, or Tails Up. I would prefer a first name bases from the get go! When we go out the whole day is about you and your friends or family who are out with us. Its about smiling, laughing and having a good time. Fish will be put in the boat and lies will be made up about the ones that got away. New friends will be made and time will surely get away from us. When we return back to the dock at the end of the trip you will be able to look back and think about what a time was had. My goal is to offer a personal one on one experience where you feel as if your the only person fishing on the water. To me a Guide Service is an exclusive experience.

Inshore trips average five hours and are dependent on tides and the bite. If an afternoon or evening trip is preferred arrangements can be made. Most trips leave the dock at 7am during the warmer months.
Alligator trips take a little longer. Trip times are dependent on locating a trophy animal, and the amount of time needed for a proper stalk and harvest. Departure times are also dependent on sunset times. Most of our alligator trips are night time excursions.
Departure times are dynamic and are set with Tides, weather and other factors that will give the best opportunities possible. If there are any special requests please just let me know.
