"Bumpy & Breezy" returned for today's offshore trip by the partyboat Capt. John. After leaving Galveston's Pier 19 with 83 fishermen aboard and later starting the offshore run, Capt. Tony Langston had the long and sleek catamaran hulls slicing through the chop.
About fifty miles after that southerly turn at the end of the jetty, they arrived at today's fishing area. Its various wrecks in the 100 ft. deep water had residents down there who wanted to come up and join the fishermen.
The cut squid or Spanish sardine baits, along with the fishermen's efforts, helped this group make the decision to come aboard:
?Ģ 166 red snapper to 7 lbs., a boat limit
?Ģ 79 vermilion snapper
?Ģ 51 lane snapper to 3.1 lbs.
?Ģ 3 kingfish
?Ģ 214 Atlantic spadefish (a.k.a. tiger snapper)
The significance of that 3.1 lb. lane snapper is that it's being submitted for the new Texas State Junior Record. Ten year old Kevin Wilson from Oklahoma City caught it. The currently listed Junior Record for lane snapper is 1 lb., which was also caught on the Capt. John by Colin Decuir from Brenham. Kevin's dad, Paul was also aboard, but as it usually goes, the unwritten "one State Record per trip, per family" rule was in effect. He did, however, have the fortune of seeing his son's record catch. While the record fish was hooked on the Capt. John, Kevin is now likely hooked on the Capt. John also.
Even with the somewhat bumpy conditions offshore for today's trip, the total catch was a good one, especially for Kevin Wilson. Give the office a ring and make your reservations on the Capt. John. You never know what you will come back with ??? a new State Record?...probably not, but you never know until you get out there. The office at Galveston's Pier 19 can be reached at 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853.

Those wrecks and rigs in 100 ft. of water held what he was looking for, a great day of catch by the 63 fishermen. The baits, pieces of cut squid or whole Spanish sardines fished throughout the......

Today's offshore fishing trip by the partyboat Capt. John was run with 43 fishermen aboard. After passing the end of the jetties and entering the Gulf, Capt.
