Today's offshore fishing trip by the partyboat Capt. John, out of Galveston's Pier 19, was run with Capt. Tony Langston in the driver's seat. After a run through the bay and then passing through the jetties, the trip offshore, in a southerly direction, started. About 50 miles out, they arrived at the fishing area and its wrecks and rigs in 100' of water. The 50 fishermen, using their cut squid pieces, whole squid or whole Spanish sardine baits, wound this catch up and over the rail:
?Ģ 100 red snapper to 10 lbs.
?Ģ 20 vermilion snapper
?Ģ 3 kingfish
?Ģ 140 Atlantic spadefish, "tiger snapper"

The consistency of the catches continues in this area roughly fifty miles to the south of the island, along with the great weather and sea conditions. Along with other species, red snapper limits to around ten pounds and boat limits as was again the case today plus numerous Atlantic spadefish have highlighted the fishing. To book your spot at the rail and take your opportunity to participate in one of these offshore catches, give the office a call, 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853.
