Captain
John Coppola

Member since June 2019 Bath, United States
Background
Captain John is a native of midcoast Maine. He has spent most of his life fishing for Striped Bass along the rocky coast and tidal rivers of this area. For him, the best part of these guided trips is either seeing guests catch their first fish – or their biggest! He likes working with beginners, but anglers of all levels of experience are welcome. He's always willing to go further to find the fish.
Techniques
Fresh-caught live bait is always preferred. Spin-casting lures and jigging are the next favored option and can produce great quality fish.
