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.

Graham was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable. He put us in the position to catch some fish and we did! Great trip all around. Definitely will be booking another trip! Thanks again for an awesome day!

Graham was very transparent that I chose a tough time of year to do some red fishing on the fly but with his guidance we made it happen! It was challenging but a ton of fun and rewarding. He really knows his stuff. Definitely will be going again.

From pick-up to drop-off, my buddy and I had a great time fishing with Graham. Even though wind and clouds and the time of year made conditions less than optimal, our time with Graham was optimized thanks to his professional, fish-focused and always thinking-ahead nature. A great guy to hang out with for the day. Look forward to fishing with him again.

Verifiedfrom start to finish this was a perfect trip. Graham is knowledgeable. He is able to give you pointers on your casting without making you feel inept. He understands the fish and knows the "honey holes" I was able to catch 3 large reds and one was a tagged red. This was a gift from my wife. She did a great job finding Graham

Graham was great to work with and he really helped me with my fly fishing skills. He also was fantastic in helping me get all geared up for a trout trip to South America. Looking forward to getting on the water with him when I return. Highly recommended👍
