High Cotton Charters
Come fish on, one of the cleanest,prettiest charter boats in Orange Beach! High Cotton Charters is here to make it happen! You'll be dropping lines from a 55' Gillman offshore sport fisher with a capacity for 14 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There's are 2 toilets on board for your convenience. We also have starlink onboard for those who can't be away from the office too long. There's a charge of 100.00 for 50gb data to starlink.
These waters hold game fish like Cobia, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Almaco Jack, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, and more with any luck. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
Capt. Eddie welcomes anglers of all ages, including kids, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if infant -sized life vests are available. Otherwise, you should bring your own. The charter boat covers your fishing license. Just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 20% on 1/2 day and 25% on full day trip,customary tip for the mate.
Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation. Just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Snacks are never a bad idea , so nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Captain Eddie and first mate Mason were amazing. They kept us on the best fishing spots out there. We caught about 50 fish in the first 30 minute's. We were pulling fish so fast i dont know how Mason kept up. He kept bait out and pulled fish after fish. When Mason was helping us and tied up Captain Eddie jumped in to help us. We had 14 total on board with 8 lines in at all times. The boat was perfect for our needs. We had 4 small kids with us that was able to sit inside with the air on and play. I cannot brag on Captain Eddie and Mason enough. I would recommend them to everyone and we will use them our next time there.
We had a blast! Military guys from Tex,DC, El Paso and San Diego. First time fishing with Fast Eddie. We traveled several miles out and we started hitting fish fast. Mason was quick to get the fish in the bucket and had bait ready. If you meet Mason, ask about the 10ft waves😎 We rode theu the rain and waves. The booking was easy and Eddis was patient when we had to make a change. The charter was clean and ready for action. WE WILL BE BACK!! Thank you Eddoe and Mason
awesome trip and an amazing experience, 3 kids and two husbands caught a ton of fish and had the absolutely best time. Two wives chummed the ocean and left most of their stomachs in the ocean😂😎. Captain and Mason were the best I would tell you use them they truly know how to fish !!! Cleanest boat! Thanks for the most memorable trip and that’s exactly what we wanted. See you next year! The Davis and Carr families.
Captian Eddie and First mate Mason we’re awesome! Took my Dad on his first deep sea fishing trip @ 82 and they took great care of him and the family while on the boat! This is my second time being on the High Cotton and looking foward to more trips!

We couldnt have asked for a better fishing trip! Jason and Mason did a great job accommodating our group. They were very informative and helpful, making our trip fun and easy going. Will definitely be booking more trips in the future!
Had a great Red Snapper fishing trip. Caught fish on every reef we pulled up on.

We had a fabulous time!! Captain Eddy was in constant contact with us about the weather beforehand. We ended up changing our time for safety and it’s a good thing we did. He certainly lived up to the reputation of what a captain should be. Safety was definitely one of the most important things. The crew were friendly, knowledgeable and as if they were fortune tellers - everything they said would happen, happened. We caught our limit and then moved onto a different type of fish and caught our limit. We had a blast. The crew would hold up our catch and if it wasn’t big enough the captain would tell them to throw it back. They baited our hooks and did absolutely everything for us. Can’t recommend them enough. We would definitely go with them again!!! My son keeps saying that captain was sharp!!!
We had a late start right off the rip due to a wreck that shut down half of orange beach. The captain was super understanding and actually helped direct half of our party out of the traffic and to the harbor a way that even gps hadn’t mentioned. Before we knew it we were on the water and pulling up snappers! Several of our group had never been offshore fishing including my little cousin in some of the videos. We didn’t have much of a troll bite after we filled our snapper limit but he was able to pull up a mackerel and bonito and loved every bit of it! After seeing everyone’s catches at the harbor it looked as though everyone had a tuff bite as well. The boat was super clean and even though it didn’t get very choppy out there it was a very smooth ride out and in. It had A/C and actual restrooms so if you were to have any kids or maybe some on the elder side this would be perfect for them to keep from getting too hot out there on those warm days! The hand was also very knowledgeable and helpful during the entire trip as well. They also cleaned and bagged our catch for us at the end of the trip! Great people and great boat! I would recommend High Cotton to anyone and everyone and plan to use them again in the future, possibly for a 12hr next time! Thanks again guys! -Hunter

Captain Eddy knew exactly where the fish were! We were dropping and reeling up steady the whole time we were fishing! We had 7 fishing and 1 taking pictures and we were only 12 away from reaching our limit (68/80)! All the kids caught lots of fish and even a big one that ran KB (first mate) to the front of the boat but it snapped the line and got away. We all had so much fun. KB and Gatlin kept running to get the fish off the hooks and rebait them. They were also quick to get us a new pole if something happened! They worked their tails off and laughed with us the whole time. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for a great trip! We will be back for more fun for sure!!

We took a 6-hour afternoon trip (1–7 PM) with High Cotton Fishing Charter—me, my wife, and our 7 kids ranging in age from 5 to 19—and it was absolutely amazing. Every single one of us caught fish, and there were smiles all around the entire time. The boat was roomy and comfortable, with a clean, air-conditioned interior that gave the kids a nice break from the sun when needed. The crew was fantastic—professional, friendly, and great with all ages. They made the experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish, and they clearly knew how to put us on the fish. We made so many great memories on this trip, and we’re already looking forward to going out with High Cotton again next time we’re in town. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a top-tier fishing experience

thank you Jeff for your review and we really appreciate the kind words. we strive for the best possible trip. thank you and see ya soon. Capt.Eddie
We told Captain Eddie that we werent big fish eaters and just wanted to catch fish. He mentioned donating any fish to an upcoming Wounded Warriors dinner and we were in for going for our limit. Had to go out quite a bit due to the recent storm, but once we reached our first spot we started pulling them in right away. Everyone caught fish and we kept Mason working hard at every spot we stopped. I’d definitely recommend fishing on High Cotton, especially if you have a larger group. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room for everyone to be fishing at the same time.

thank you so much for the review here is a picture from our veterans trip. everyone had a great time and took fish home wuth tbem thanks for the extra fish

My name is Eddie, but people call me Fast Eddie. The name goes way back to when I was a deckhand. I would run around the boat and take care of everyone at quite a fast pace, and captains would call me Fast Eddie so it stuck. One day my mom booked me a walk-on trip and I became friends with the crew. I started riding my bike to the marina and would help the crew out. One day I was asked to ride along on a charter and 3 days later I was hired as a 2nd mate and worked my way to being the 1st mate. Two years later I got the opportunity of a lifetime to be the 1st mate on a 60ft boat and I was hooked. I went to school in 2000 and received a 100-ton master's license. I became the captain of that same 60ft boat. Here I am now running a dream job. Catching fish makes memories for customers for generations to talk about. Thank you for reading my story, and hope to take you fishing! I welcome you to come to fish the High Cotton Charters and experience a first-class charter experience.
