To all the friends and family of Ed Otero, the Independence would like to give you all our sincere condolences. Ed was truly one of God's Fisherman of Men. Always wanting to be out on the water. His Wife (Desiree`) said there was no better place to be but on his choice of boats "The Indy". Anyone that fished with Ed over the course of years that he spent on the boat can attest to his friendly nature and willingness to help and assist those that needed help. Loaning his rods and tackle to Anglers that didn't have enough or the right kind to fish certain type or size fish that Jeff the Skipper had lead them onto.. Now Ed you are with the greatest Fisherman of all...Catch the "Bigun" Ed...... You will be missed. Mark, Paul, Jeff, Judy, Doug, Paul M, Kevin, Matt, Tyler, Michel, Rolo.
