This offshore fishing trip on the Capt. John was headed up by Capt. Johnny Williams. The pieces of the V. A. Fogg wreck, which is about fifty miles to the south of Galveston in 100 ft. of water, was the target for the day's fishing. Also thrown in were drifts at several anchored shrimpboats on the way out and back from the Fogg.

The 41 fishermen and their baits, cut squid or whole sardines, worked throughout the water column, reeled in this catch:
?Ģ 82 red snapper to 6 lbs., a boat limit
?Ģ 51 vermilion snapper
?Ģ 12 lane snapper
?Ģ 1 ling
?Ģ 2 kingfish
?Ģ 101 Atlantic spadefish (tiger snapper)
?Ģ 1 wahoo, 50 lbs.

Today's shrimpboat drift, about 40 miles offshore, wasn't very productive, but it's one of those tactics that can be, most of the time - it's always worth a shot. The wahoo was a bit of a surprise, but not all that unusual. Give the office a call at 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853, get on the list to go fishing on the partyboat Capt. John and see what you can run across out there. Oh yeah...the wahoo came from the area of the Fogg.
