Cherry Grove Native & North Myrtle Beach Fishing Charter Captain
Captain Cody Childers is a skilled and dedicated fishing guide proudly working with North Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters. As a Cherry Grove native, Captain Cody has spent over 20 years fishing the local waters and has held his U.S. Coast Guard captain’s license for the past 5 years. His lifelong connection to the area gives him an authentic local edge that translates directly into successful, enjoyable fishing trips.
Fishing isn’t just Captain Cody’s profession—it’s been part of his life since childhood. Growing up in Cherry Grove, he learned these waters the old-fashioned way: time on the water, changing seasons, and firsthand experience. Today, he uses that deep local knowledge to guide families, visitors, and seasoned anglers alike on productive inshore fishing adventures.
Local Roots, Real Experience
Captain Cody’s advantage starts with where he’s from. Cherry Grove is known for its productive inshore waters, creeks, flats, and access to prime fishing grounds. Spending two decades fishing this area has allowed Captain Cody to understand how tides, water temperature, and seasonal fish movements affect daily success.
That local insight helps him make smart decisions on the water—adjusting locations, techniques, and timing to match current conditions rather than relying on guesswork. It’s the kind of experience that can only be built by growing up fishing the same waters year after year.

Captain Cody focuses on inshore fishing and light-tackle action, targeting species that provide both excitement and consistent results.
