To put it in simple words for today's offshore fishing trip by the partyboat Capt. John -- the breeze got a bit "breezier" than yesterday and the Gulf was a bit more choppy. With 56 fishermen aboard, the twin hulls of the Capt. John sliced through the chop, it's destination fifty miles south of Galveston Island to rocks and wrecks in a little over 100 ft. of water.
Baits used were pieces of cut squid or whole Spanish sardines, fished throughout the water column. These baits, coupled with the fishermen's efforts, produced a catch made up of about a dozen each of lane snapper and Atlantic spadefish, along with a 25 lb. kingfish, a 12 lb. Warsaw grouper, a 36 lb. ling and 86 red snapper. The two heaviest red snappers were 14 and 15 lbs. The red snapper total catch was just over 3/4 of a limit.
To make your reservations on the Capt. John -- give the office a call at Galveston's Pier 19 at either 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853.

5-18-2007The gulf was much more cooperative, wave-wise, than the previous two days -- three foot, then down to less than a foot in the afternoon.

Two stops were made in 90 ft. of water over rock formations at Heald Bank. The next move was to make a run farther offshore to the SE where several stops were...... Read More

Today's offshore fishing trip by the partyboat Capt. John was the first since last Saturday. While the last several days found the Gulf in a virtually flat calm condition, today's trip had a bit of a breeze to contend with. These choppy conditions weren't a problem, though, for the twin hulls of the Capt. John. Two areas were fished; the old Buccaneer Field platforms and the wreck of the V.A.Fogg. Their 80 to 100 ft. deep waters about 30 and 45...... Read More
