Captain Johns Fish Report 05-28-07

Well, the unwanted friends of offshore fishing, "Breezy and Bumpy" were back today. Having those breezy and bumpy conditions to contend with, the 64 fishermen aboard the partyboat Capt. John managed to reel in a red snapper limit to 6 lbs. and two Warsaw grouper.

After leaving Galveston's Pier 19, they later headed offshore in a southeasterly direction with Capt. Tony Langston at the wheel. The area roughly fifty miles out, with its rock formations in 85 to 90 ft. of water was fished. Their baits, Spanish sardines and pieces of cut squid, fished at or near the bottom, produced that catch of 128 red snapper to 6 lbs. and those Warsaw groupers. An important point about the Warsaw is that the boat limit is one per day, so the second one was released alive at boatside to fight again some day with another lucky angler. Speaking of a lucky angler, the same woman caught both of those Warsaw groupers today.

To get a shot at a Warsaw or one of the other species that are caught on board the Capt. John, give the office a call at either 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853 and make your reservation.

Remember the reference to "Bumpy, breezy", etc? Well, they were back today. Shortly after leaving Galveston's Pier 19 with Capt. Tony Langston at the helm, the party boat Capt. John entered the breezy and bumpy Gulf and motored offshore. The 30 or so mile run to the south ended with the 44 fishermen working bottom structure and a production platform in around 70 ft. of water. The highlights of the trip, fishing wise, were a 22 lb. sow red snapper and...... Read More
