With relatively calm conditions still holding in the Gulf, the partyboat Capt. John was once again headed offshore in a southeasterly direction. After leaving Galveston's Pier 19, Capt. Tony Langston made the decision to try a slightly different area today. The stops were made over similar structure as previous days, rocks and a wreck. These stops, in 110 ft. of water 55 miles offshore gave up this catch to the cut squid or Spanish sardine baits:
?Ģ 1 gag grouper of 9 lbs.
?Ģ 1 Warsaw grouper of 15 lbs.
?Ģ 17 kingfish to 28 lbs.
?Ģ 138 red snapper to 4 lbs. A daily limit for all of the 69 fishermen aboard.

Paul Wilson, Oklahoma City, with a smoker kingfish to go with his red snapper limit.
Sam Rosas, Sugarland, had a kingfish limit of 2 to go along with his red snapper limit. Sam's catch came on Carolina-rigged or freelined Spanish sardines. To get on the Capt. John where you'll probably meet some new friends and catch some fish too, give the office a ring at 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853 to make your reservations.
