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.

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

Another great day out on the water with Graham! If you’re looking for the premier sight fishing experience around HHI, Graham is your captain. He constantly put me on fish even when the conditions were most challenging. His intentional approach is unmatched and he makes the whole process exciting and fun. Highly recommend!

VerifiedGraham was an excellent guide. He put me on a lot of the target fish. Unfortunately my skill level was not up to the task but he provided constant encouragement and helpful advice. I definitely recommend him for an enjoyable and productive experience.

Graham put us on fish all day… couldn’t have asked for a better guide and experience for our red fishing trip through the low country of South Carolina. Knowledgeable and kind and super skilled - I highly recommend you spent for time fishing with back country!

VerifiedI had a great fishing trip with Captain Graham. He worked hard to put me in the right positions to throw the fly in front of red drum and I was rewarded. Next time I'm on Hilton Head I will be booking another charter with him.
