Captain Johns FIsh Report 07-26-07

"Breezy & Bumpy" were in the offshore neighborhood today. They weren't there so much at the start,but when they did show, they brought along cousin "Really Bumpy". Unfortunately, the forecast isn't a good one for the next couple of days. The good part is that we all know about forecasts, they aren't always correct. Hopefully, that's the case for the near future. With conditions being what they were today, the sleek twin hull catamaran design of the Capt. John dampened those wave motions to a great extent.

Leaving Galveston's Pier 19 and shortly thereafter entering the Gulf with 75 fishermen aboard, a southerly run offshore began. When the run of approximately fifty miles was complete, Capt. Tony Langston had the fishermen working their cut squid or sardine baits over wrecks and rocks in the 110 ft. deep water. Their efforts and the baits used had this catch biting and joining them on deck:
?Ģ 150 red snapper to 10 lbs., a boat limit
?Ģ 12 mangrove snapper to 8 lbs.
?Ģ 20 vermilion snapper
?Ģ 2 rainbow runner
?Ģ 3 kingfish
?Ģ 2 dorado (mahi-mahi) of 18-20 lbs. each
?Ģ 1 ling of 30 lbs.
?Ģ 50 Atlantic spadefish (tiger snapper)

Despite the unwelcome return appearance of "Bumpy & Breezy" and cousin, "Really Bumpy", another of those multi-species catches managed to end up in the fish boxes. To secure your spot at the rail on the Capt. John, contact the office at Pier 19 to make your reservations. The office staff is waiting to hear from you.

Today was the proverbial, at least in the forecast, day before the storm, since it's supposed to go downhill for the next few days. With calm conditions, Capt. Tony Langston pointed the twin hulls of the Capt. John in a southerly direction after entering the open Gulf. A couple of drifts were made at anchored shrimp boats about forty miles out, on the way out and back. The majority of fishing was done about fifty miles out at a rig and...... Read More

Today's offshore day trip by the Capt. John was run with Capt. Johnny Williams behind the wheel. With 81 fishermen aboard, the run began to the south and the pieces of the V.A.Fogg wreck. Having a calm Gulf ahead of them made the approximate fifty mile run out and back a smooth one. Using Spanish sardines or pieces of cut squid baits, they wound in this catch from the area's 100 ft. deep water: ?Ģ 162 red snapper to 7 lbs., a boat...... Read More
