Wonderful experience with Captain Cotter. He was able to put us on fish in very difficult and windy conditions. He gave great advice and communicated well while guiding. We will definitely return for another trip!

Very skilled professional guide. He put me on several schools of big Redfish. Landed several with a 26 and 28 incher! If you are looking for a trip in shallow water with artificial on light tackle or by fly fishing…. this is your guy! Fantastic experience!
