Integrity, Experience and Dedication to the sport of saltwater Fishing
Thank You, Capt. Richie
Richie leaves behind more than just a business empire—he leaves a community bonded by adventures at sea:
• Thousands of clients who became friends.
• A talented second generation in Capt. Josh Cook to carry the torch.
• Countless fish stories, photo moments, and life lessons courtesy of Coastal Georgia’s waters.
“After more than 30 incredible years at the helm, Capt. Richie ‘RL’ Lott has retired from Georgia Sport Fishing Charters. A world‑record holder, mentor, and third‑generation saltwater legend, Richie built this business from the ground up and made lifelong memories for thousands aboard his boats. His low‑pressure style, relentless passion, and fierce dedication turned first‑time anglers into repeat clients—and repeat clients into family. While he’s stepping off deck, his fishing legacy sails on through Capt. Josh Cook and all the stories left in Florida and Georgia waters. Thank you, Capt. RL, for every cast, every guided haul, every corner of patience and humor. Tight lines, and fair winds ahead!”
