This offshore 12 hour day trip was run with Capt. Tony Langston in the driver's seat. Shortly after leaving Pier 19 and entering the waters of the open Gulf, a turn was made in a southerly direction. His target area for the 48 fishermen was a series of rocks, wrecks and a production platform about 50 miels offshore.

Arriving at the fishing sites, the fishermen's baits of whole or cut squid and Spanish sardines were deployed throughout the 100 ft. water column. The fishermen's efforts and the appetite of various species down below had this catch ending up in the fish boxes:
?Ģ 93 red snapper to 9 lb
?Ģ 27 vermilion snapper
?Ģ 59 lane snapper
?Ģ 12 mangrove snapper
?Ģ 3 rockhind grouper
?Ģ 2 bluefish
?Ģ 1 kingfish
?Ģ 15 blue runner
?Ģ 3 rainbow runner
?Ģ 247 Atlantic spadefish "tiger snapper"
