Captain
John Parkinson

Member since February 2024 Falmouth, United States
Background
Having engaged in recreational fishing for more than four decades, Captain John has owned and operated various boats during this extensive period. With an enduring passion for spending time on the water, the transition into retirement from a primary occupation has afforded more opportunities to indulge in this activity. Recent years have been dedicated to the pursuit of offshore fishing, with a focus on targeting Bluefin tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Cod. Among the many fishing experiences, a standout memory includes Captain John's successful capture of a remarkable 95lb Halibut during a Cod fishing expedition.
