Well, characters who affect the weather and wave heights offshore were still out there today, fortunately the Capt. John is designed to handle them. After leaving Galveston's Pier 19 and later entering the Gulf, the run offshore began. With the bumpy conditions, Capt. Tony Langston was able to maintain a speed of 18 knots for just about all of the 30 mile trip to the fishing area...technology soothes Mother Nature.

After arriving over the rocks and at a rig in the 70 ft. waters, the 68 fishermen began working their cut or sardine baits from near the surface to the bottom. The snappers were there as well as a Warsaw grouper and some of those "tigers". The catch totals were:
?Ģ 136 red snapper to 11 lbs., a boat limit
?Ģ 4 mangrove snapper
?Ģ 1 Warsaw grouper
?Ģ 4 triggerfish
?Ģ 71 Atlantic spadefish, "tiger snapper".

Hopefully, "Bumpy & Breezy" will be evicted soon. In the meantime, the fish out there don't seem to care, as those multi-species catches keep being reeled in. Give the office at Pier 19 a ring at 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853 to make your

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...... Read More

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
