It had to happen ??? yesterday's "Ice Cream Conditions" have, well, sort of "left the building"...the upper Texas coast offshore waters for sure. Today's breezy, bumpy and squally conditions were indeed a change but the catch results were close to normal. With Capt. Tony Langston at the wheel of the partyboat Capt. John, the run offshore in a southerly direction began, after passing through the jetties. Destination was a series of rocks about 50 miles offshore of Galveston Island in 100 ft. of water.

The baits of the 65 fishermen, pieces of cut squid or whole Spanish sardines, enticed this catch to join them on the deck:
?Ģ 1 kingfish
?Ģ 51 Atlantic spadefish

?Ģ 49 lane snapper to 3#

?Ģ 30 vermilion snapper to 3#

?Ģ 130 red snapper to 8#, a red snapper limit for all 65 fishermen.

The state of the art hull design of the Capt. John contribute greatly to the fishability of the boat when the Gulf gets on the bumpy side as it was today. Give the office a ring at 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853 to make your reservations, your spot at the rail and the fish are waiting.

A call to Blue Bell was also made and the "Ice Cream Conditions" are on the way, when they'll get here is sort of iffy. In the meantime, get on the boat, enjoy the ride and catch some fish.
