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 extremely accommodating and knowledgeable about the fishery. Having done a little bit of research in the area before booking I knew I made the right choice. He is knowledgeable and flexible when conditions (tide and weather) come into play. His enthusiasm and charisma is on full display when he puts his client on a fish. Would encourage anyone to book and I’ll be a repeat customer.

VerifiedGraham clearly knows how to fish the water around HHI and has the right boat and equipment to get in areas that most charters would be unable to access. If you are looking to avoid the "shark" charters, I highly recommend Graham.

VerifiedI always have a great time with Graham. He is very knowledgeable and his passion for the area really shows. He is a great ambassador of the area’s inshore fishery, sharing the wildlife and beauty it has to offer with his anglers. I am excited to get back out there to chase some more fish and see what else I can learn from him.
