Mr Alex Yip, rarely comes back with an empty cooler box; its usually full of quality fish. He certainly qualifies to be in "The Old Man & the Sea" category. It was a rare occassion for me to meet up with Alex onboard his Grand Banks 36' My mission was simple, to ask Alex for the many fishing spots he kept in his trusted NavMan Chartplotter. Alex was generous to a tee. He gave me 20 hot spots. Last Saturday 28 July, I fished at one of the spots. At 2230hrs, under a full moon, SW of St John's Island, 01 12.970N 103 50.867E, we landed a 1.5kg Kachi drifting over that spot. The bait used was frozen kelong squid bought from a fishing tackle shop opposite Yishun MRT & run by an enthusiast angler name Henry. The bottom was coral & rock. My business buddy Cedric Chan caught the fish using an apollo rig in 105feet of water. Thank you Alex, I owe you one buddy...Monday, July 30, 2007
