With wave heights of only one to two feet awaiting the partyboat Capt. John, the turn south at the end of Galveston's jetties brought a smooth run through the open Gulf. Capt. Tony Langston had seemingly evicted "Bumpy & Breezy", at least for a while, which was good news for all 61 fishermen aboard today.

The run to about 50 miles offshore was to a series of wrecks in around 100 ft. of water. Working the standard partyboat baits of Spanish sardines or cut squid throughout the water column, this catch joined the fishermen on deck:
?Ģ 122 red snapper to 7 lbs., many of 5-6 lbs. - a boat limit
?Ģ 50 vermilion snapper
?Ģ 6 mangrove snapper
?Ģ 10 lane snapper
?Ģ 272 Atlantic spadefish, a.k.a. tiger snapper ?Ģ 1 amberjack
?Ģ 1 kingfish

Sam Rosas, Sugarland, Jerry McCullin, (Texas City), Jamie McCullin, (Kemah) and Ray Yarbrough, (Texas City), all with red snapper limits that topped out at 6-7 lbs.

Not only did today's trip have great weather and Gulf conditions, but also another of those multi-species catches everyone looks for. Give the office a call at 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853 to make your reservations on the partyboat Capt. John. It's blue water fishing at a bargain price, so come out soon and get your exposure to the Capt. John experience.

Fogg as his destination for the start of today's fishing. Forty five miles later they were there and the fishermen began working their baits throughout the 100 ft. water column. The majority of the catch was taken at these wreck pieces. Drifts were made at...... Read More
