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.

    Amazing fishing trip

    4hr trip • 13 adults • 3 children

    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.

    Nice Boat, Nice People, and Great Fishing

    6 Hour Trip • 7 adults

    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.

    Eddie and Mason were great

    6 Hour Trip • 10 adults

    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

    Memories!

    6 Hour Trip • 7 adults

    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.

What's biting with High Cotton Charters in Orange Beach

While peak season may be over, the weather is only getting better here. No more showers mean the waters are usually calm and the bite is excellent, with Redfish testing your line inshore, and Marlin offshore.
