Today's offshore trip by the Capt. John, Galveston's newest party boat, was indeed a good one. While They are all good, in different ways, today's highlights were the catch and sea conditions. When the entry was made into the Gulf, with its foot or less swell, Capt. Tony Langston had the twin aluminum hulls heading south.

With a run of about fifty miles behind them, fishing started at several wrecks in around 100 ft. of water. The 83 fishermen's efforts and their cut squid or Spanish sardine baits brought this catch into the fish boxes:
?Ģ 166 red snapper to 8 lb.B ?Ģ 31 vermilion snapper
?Ģ 10 lane snapper
?Ģ 21 mangrove snapper
?Ģ 8 blue runner
?Ģ 6 kingfish to 20 lb.
?Ģ 1 amberjack -- 18 lb.
?Ģ 1 African pompano
?Ģ 1 scamp grouper
?Ģ 1 Warsaw grouper
?Ģ 8 rockhind grouper
?Ģ 294 Atlantic spadefish - "Tiger Snapper"

"Good" was mentioned earlier. Obviously, today's catch in particular wound way past good. Incidentally, the red snapper portion of the catch was an allowable daily boat limit for the 83 fishermen and the rest of the multi-species catch wasn't too shabby either.
