Capt. Tony Langston had the area 30 miles to the south of The Island in mind as the destination for today's fishing, and this offshore run began once the Capt. John exited the Galveston Jetties.

Assorted rock structure in 75 ft. of water was the 58 fishermen's cut squid or sardine baits target. This was a tall target since they worked all of the water column below the partyboat Capt. John. Their efforts brought this catch over the rail:
?Ģ 2 kingfish to 26#
?Ģ 116 red snapper to 8#, a limit for all the fishermen.
?Ģ 101 Atlantic spadefish (a.k.a. "Tiger Snapper")
?Ģ 1 ling of 30#
?Ģ 9 triggerfish

Kenny Swanson, Galveston, had a red snapper limit and the 26 lb. kingfish, all taken on freelined sardines.

Bryan Simms, Katy, with Atlantic spadefish (tiger snapper), triggerfish, kingfish, a red snapper limit and the day's only ling.

Besides the productive day trips by the Capt. John, 36 hour overnight trips are also run. Today, two of these trips have been added to the schedule, August 21-22 and Sept 18-19. Both are Tuesday-Wednesday trips and their cost is $300 per fisherman. Give the office at Galveston's Pier 19 a call to make your reservations on any of the Capt. John's offshore fishing trips.

The phone numbers are 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853. The office staff is waiting to hear from you.

Fishing their sardine or squid baits in the 125 ft. deep water, from the bottom to the near surface area wasn't quite as productive as it has been lately. The fish were marked on...... Read More

This offshore day trip by the partyboat Capt. John out of Galveston's Pier 19 was run with Capt. Tony Langston at the wheel. That familiar exit and turn after passing the end of the South jetty was made in a southeasterly direction. With the run of 60 miles completed, the 70 fishermen began working their sardine or squid baits throughout the 120 ft. water column.
