John Lee, a special breed of Angler


(Picture of John with a 3kg local grouper)
I recently had the pleasure to go fishing with John Lee, whom I met at the RSYC. John is happily "retired" and is a superb angler. He owns an Albacore 28' and charters it out for fun. What impressed me most about John is his knowledge of the peculiar eating habits of our local fish. He knows when they feed and is very skilled at anchoring the boat so precisely, he sends the bait right into their homes. It's no small wonder, John always catches the fish. Another remarkable feat is, he hardly travels far to the happy hunting grounds. Many are within visual distance of his base camp. Whatever will John catch next, when the season opens in mid March.
