Omar,
Thanks for the terrific day of fishing at Cedar Creek. My brother-in-law, Steve, flew down from Seattle just to spend the weekend fishing in Texas. You certainly impressed both of us with your knowledge of the lake and your ability to put us on the fish. This trip is the only time I have caught hybrid stripers, white bass, yellow bass, and largemouth all on the same day. We finished the day tired from reeling in our catches and happy to have a cooler full of filets to take home. Keep the same date open for us next year--we'll definitely be back.

Thanks for a SUPER day on the water. Lots of fish, fast and furious! It's entertaining watching the guide net three fish at once! Yep Leprechaun was a busy Little feller.
Give Omar a call, they will get you on the fish....

The trip was excellent! Omar was the perfect guide for two moms and their children. He was helpful but let the kids catch the fish by themselves. The trip was just the right amount of time, not too long, not too short. We caught so many fish that the kids might start griping about eating fish so often but I think they will get over it and start begging to go fishing with Omar again.

My family hit Tawakoni Sunday afternoon with Omar and we had an incredible time. This trip was mostly for my 12 yr old son who chose a guided trip over a party for his birthday. Omar was incredible, having patience for the three of us who had never fished off of a boat before. Every spot Omar took us to was loaded with sandies. It didn't take long for each of us to hit the limit. At times, everyone was catching a fish at the same time.
My son has always wanted to catch a fish big enough to take home to eat and he caught a 20" hybrid that wore him out. I will never forget the smile and pride he showed holding that bass. The trip was more than what we had hoped for. Omar is as good of a teacher as he is a guide and I recommend him to all. My wife has said that it felt like we were fishing with a friend instead of a hired guide. Thanks again Omar.

Omar is 'Da Man'!
I am the Scoutmaster that Omar took on this trip. It was AWESOME! Some of these boys had never caught a fish before! (Now they will be spoiled for life)
Omar was GREAT! He met us at the dock and worked hard all day to get these boys on fish.(he actually made it look easy, but I know he worked at it). He was an instant friend to me and the boys and someone I will recommend to everyone.
I really enjoyed the trip and look forward to the next time! (I have already been asked, 'When are we going back to fish with Omar?)
Thanks Omar!!!

Omar,
When I got back to the hotel and as people were asking me about the trip, I started handing out your cards. I showed them pictures from my camera and they were floored!!! I told my Regional VP and I sure on the next trip to Dallas for our Mgr. meeting, you'll get some business.
We had a great time with you!!! You put us on fish. Lots of fish!!! That's what we were looking for!!! I've fished with probably over 15 professional guides since the last 20 years but your expertise along with your great personality put you at one of the top guides that I've ever fished with. Your one-liners were great! Even though the weather was not the best and it was your birthday weekend, you took your time with us and didn't rush us at all.
Take Care!!

Hey Omar,
That sounds like a heck of a fishing trip. I hope the fish stories get even better. I think those 3 guys were just really good fisher persons. Of course I am a little biased since I was one of the 3.
I had a really great day and just wanted to say thanks again for a great day.I'll try and get back to Texas and we'll do it again. I know we can do even better with a guide as pleasant and knowledgeable as you.
THANKS AGAIN .......KEEP UP THE GREAT FISHING........

Omar,
I have been fishing with guides for over 20 years (about 2-times a year) and can say that I have never had a more enjoyable trip. My two fishing buddies, Frank and Darren also expressed their appreciation for a great day. Not only was the comradery good but to make it even better, the fishing was great! Your techniques on "chumming-up" the fish worked like a charm (lucky charm, that is since you're Irish!)
The overall quality of the fish (2 lbs. to 9 lbs. was the best average I had had in several years. Our ""keeper" (21 fish, helped to replenish my previously empty freezer. By the way, thanks also for the casting net instruction. I was able to use the technique you taught me the next day with a bucket full of shad on the third cast! Thanks for all the great tips you were willing to share, also. All-in-all a great day of fishing and fun!

Omar,
"Omar, Thanks for the great trip, with information learned fishing with you, the boys and I have been able to return and fish with great success several times. Thank you very much for the most successful fishing day this old man ever had."

Omar,
Just a note to let you know how much I enjoyed myself on our recent trip !!! ( I'm sure you already know but I just want to be emphatic about it ! ) You are a blast to be in a boat with, as a matter of fact I felt like I was fishing with an old friends.
I was impressed by your ability to locate and boat fish in such crappy conditions, I truly did not expect to catch anything other than a cold ! As soon as I can get back down your way ( possibly in October, not sure though ) I would like to go on another trip, hopefully under much better conditions !
All I can say is I had a freakin blast and look forward to fishing with you again !!!
I'll be in touch with ya'll !

Omar,
"I just wanted to drop you a note to say "Thanks !". I don't think the day could have been any better, though James still says one thing was missing, his big striper. The weather was great and the fish were biting, not much more we could want. I have a memory of time with my boys I don't think I will ever forget, and they have told their friends all about it since we got home. Robert wanted me to take him fishing the next day. He has the fishing bug really bad now."
James Montoya, James, and Robert
PS "By the way, we had one of the striper filets for dinner last night. Cooked it up on the grill the way you suggested and it was great. Two more are going on tonight !" |

Fished Cedar Creek today (12-14-02) with my friend Omar Cotter and my 14 year old son Jeremy.
I could bore you with words like Stupendious and Magnificient but as you see I would only Mis-spell them. But I will share with you that on the drive home, Jeremy asked me If I thought Omar would still be a guide when He was 40. When I asked why, he said that he would like to hire him to take him and his son out so they could share a memory like he and I did. What else can I say??

A Memory that willl transend time. Priceless!!!
Who remembers what they got for their 14th Christmas?? Jeremy will remember this trip long after I am dead and gone. What is the price of mortality?????
Its about $250.00, if you know a Leprechaun, and he will show you his pot of gold. I spent the day at the end of the Rainbow. Where did you spend yours?????? |

My thanks to Omar for a great day fishing. He is a fine guide and a great guy. Best day fishing I can remember. I will let my sons English paper speak to how he enjoyed the day....
A beautiful morning, the dial read 68 degrees,
The sun barley visible as it topped distant trees.
We set out across the lake, the waves in slight chop,
Our pulses were racing, the adrenaline wouldnt stop.
Through binoculars we searched, for the sea gulls in flight,
But to our disappointed eyes, there were no birds in sight.
When on open water we stopped, and we do not know why,
Then after a minuet or two, Fish on was the cry.
From spot to spot, we move and we seek,
A fish box to fill, a limit to meet.
The hum of the four stroke, as we eased past a stump
As we watched on the sonar for the rise of the Hump.
As the lure settled down, in our hands rod and reel,
Our senses all focused for the bump that we feel.
Feel the slab down, and when the line goes slack
Raise the tip of the rod, feel the fish on impact.
Your line drag will scream, your rod tip will pull,
By the end of the day, the fish box was full.
The weather was warm, the fishing was hotter,
Thanks to the knowledge and skill, of our friend, Omar Cotter.

What a day! It was the best freshwater fishing trip either of us has ever had. It wasn't a fishing trip, it was a catching trip. I would say we caught an estimate of 150#s of fish saturday. I would like to thank our guide, Omar the deckhand, for putting us on the fish, having the right tackle, and for getting the hell out of the way. I would highly recommend the Luck of the Irish guide service to anyone looking for a good day of fishing. Omar was not only a good guide, but an extremely nice guy who did everything possible to make a pleasant day for us. He shared information, tackle, and helped rig tackle for our next day. On the next day we went alone and caught fish using the information from Omar and caught fish again, one weighing 17#s-33"s.
Thanks,
Johnny Mack and Bill

"I live on Cedar Creek Lake and I would have sworn that there were no fish in the lake..... Until I went fishing with the Luck O' The Irish. Did Omar ever prove me wrong. All 3 times that I have been out with Omar we caught our limit or close to it. These are not small fish either, one time I thought I had hooked a tree stump and it turned out to be a 9 pound hybrid. I will only go fishing with the Luck o' The Irish."

Omar took me and my daughter fishing recently. I had never caught anything larger than a 4" Sunfish before that time. This man knows what he's doing. We caught more fish in an hour than I could count. Omar's enthusiasm and zeal for the sport sets him apart. Would recommend to anyone who wants to catch fish! A day of fishing with Omar was fun, exciting, and full of fish! I caught more fish that day than I had in my life. Omar is a great guy and I'd go again in a minute!!

"The entire experience is excellent, from the expertise and effort of the guide to the quantity and quality of the fish." G. Brittain

"I have gone out fishing with Luck O the Irish several times. We always come back with a good catch. Sometimes I almost feel embarrassed that we had so well, while others coming in lament that they "didn't catch any" or "fishing wasn't good today."

Heard from a passing boat by 3 of my customers.
"They're catching them hand over fist!" |

"Thanks again for the trip! We had so much fun. Jason bought a fish fryer yesterday! He is ready to go again! Thank you for such a great fishing trip and my first time to fish in a boat." Jason & Angela Elwood |

You have a new best friend!!!!! I promise you, a day does not go by since our fishing trip that Jason's is whining, I want to go fishing with Omar. As a joke he wrote on our calendar fishing with Omar everyday of the month.
I think he and his friend Gary are planning to talk with you about a Sept fishing trip to Cedar Creek like you were telling us about.
He is so ready to go again. He fished the banks at Lake Arlington last night and brought home 5 really good sized Croppie. He even bought a fish fryer.
He also asked when he is getting his shirt? I truly think you have made a friend. - Angela |

"After one trip with Omar, my eight year old daughter is always anxious to go fishing, even at 4:00 a.m."
