This Memorial Day weekend day trip on the partyboat Capt. John was run out of Galveston's Pier 19 with Capt. Tony Langston behind the wheel. Heading offshore with the twin hulls slicing through the moderate swell was a welcomed change from yesterday, when rough seas caused the offshore trip to be changed to a bay trip.

After a run offshore to about 60 miles south of The Island, the 77 fishermen wet their baits at several rocks in 125 ft. of water. Their baits, pieces of cut squid and whole Spanish sardines, fooled the following into biting and joining them on the boat. Their catch included a red snapper limit (to 7 lbs.) for each of the 77 fishermen, a kingfish of 24 lbs. and one 22 lb. Warsaw grouper.
