Captain
John Lee

Member since June 2022 Narragansett, United States
Background
Captain John has been fishing his whole life – and like a kid, he has never lost his sense of wonder about the sea. In college, he studied Fisheries Science at the University of Rhode Island. For many years he was a commercial fisherman, catching everything from Swordfish to Squid, often a hundred miles from land. Lately, Captain John prefers being closer to home, targeting the fish he loves on short trips. Aside from his 31' JC fishing boat, he also captains a pilot boat, which brings pilots to and from large tankers, freighters, and chemical carriers. It's year-round work and has sharpened his skill as a boat captain. The captain also is a writer and photographer. For two decades he has published stories in many fishing magazines, including On the Water, The Fisherman Magazine, Sport Fishing Magazine, Anglers Journal, Soundings, and National Fisherman. Captain John has made videos on commercial fishing for the Commercial Fishing Center of Rhode Island.
Techniques
Captain John likes all kinds of fishing but especially drift fishing with jigs and bait. He likes active fishing, standing up with the rod. He loves catching fish for the dinner table, and takes pride in caring for the catch.
