Ready to cast a line in Orange Beach? High Cotton Charters is here to make it happen! You’ll be dropping lines from a 55’ Offshore sport fishing with a capacity for 12 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience.

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 child-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! Have 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 that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

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.
