About
Graham Cotter has been an adventure guide in one way, shape, or form for over 20 years. While he grew up visiting his father in Hilton Head Island he spent the majority of his career in the Florida Keys, South Florida, and the Bahamas. Graham managed private sport fishing operations which required him to learn new fisheries as he travelled to various remote locations - offshore fishing for pelagics, inshore fishing for bonefish, snook and tarpon and diving and spearfishing. But sight fishing the Backcountry flats and creeks were always the favorite.
After evacuating the Florida Keys for Hurricane Irma in 2017 he ended up on Hilton Head Island. Graham had found the Backcountry waters he had always been searching for. The endless variety of salt marsh creeks and flats in the Lowcountry are overwhelming and ever changing with the tide and could never be fully explored.
When not on charter Graham is still on the water everyday keeping his finger on the pulse & scouting new spots.

VerifiedCpt Graham is amazing! He made the trip with my son a day we will never forget. We didn’t just catch fish, we had an incredible experience on the flats surrounded by nature and learning how to sight cast for reds. One of the best days of fishing I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back!

VerifiedWonderful fishing experience with my son. Cpt. Graham provided an incredible day of fishing. My son caught his first redfish, learned how to fly fish, saw huge schools of schooling redfish - we had an absolutey amzing time. Highly recommend this trip and Cpt. Graham if you're looking to fish the HH area. He knows the area, how to find the fish and he works his tail off to put you on the fish and make sure you have a great trip.

As close to perfection as possible. Graham loves what he does and his passion makes the trip so worthwhile. I learned so much and we caught a lot of fish. He is an outstanding guide.

VerifiedGreat trip. I learned about hunting fish, worked on my ready position and casting, and actually hooked a red fish. The weather was beautiful and it was just fun being on the water. Graham was very attentive and worked hard to improve my understanding of this type of fishing and to improve my ability to fly fish in saltwater.

Awesome casting instructor. Highly recommend getting a session in to brush that dust off (or first learn how to cast farther like I needed)!
