Johnny Williams

The Capt. John had more of those swells of a foot or less for its twin hulls to smoothly slice through...a foot or less, nice problem. After leaving Galveston's Pier 19 with 42 fishermen aboard and later entering the calm Gulf, the offshore run in a sort of southerly direction started. After around 55 miles Capt. Tony Langston had them fishing over rocks in 120 ft. of water.

The baits, whole Spanish sardines, pieces of cut or whole squid, were fished throughout the water column. The baits, and the fishermen's efforts, had this catch ending up in the fish boxes...
?Ģ 1 wahoo, 40 lbs.
?Ģ 5 kingfish
?Ģ 9 lane snapper
?Ģ 4 vermilion snapper
?Ģ 76 red snapper to 8 lbs., over 90% of a boat limit
?Ģ 100 Atlantic spadefish (tiger snapper)

With nice weather forecast for the near future, now is a great time to make your reservations at the rail on the Capt. John. The friendly and informed office staff at Pier 19 is anticipating your call to 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853...call today.

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...... Read More
