Captain
James Cooper

Member since April 2023 Chincoteague, United States
Background
Born and raised on the Eastern Shore, I've spent most of my time fishing on the Atlantic and Chesapeake Bay. At a young age, I fell in love with saltwater fishing and never let go. I started fishing the bay and the tributaries of the Chesapeake, then ended up recreational fishing offshore for 17 years, eventually returning to the bay, where my true passion has lied for the last 24 years. In 2019, I received my captain's license, and now I have chosen to share some of the awesome sunsets and fishing experiences that the Chesapeake Bay has to offer.
Techniques
I really enjoy catching large reds,and stripers from the shallow flats to the deeper channels edges also enjoy throwing lures and top water baits for stripers and speckled trout around islands and marshes that can be quite a thrill
