Today's offshore fishing trip by the partyboat Capt. John was run with Capt. Tony Langston at the helm. This was a charter by LLC Management of Houston, headed up by Jim Washburn. What a day of great fishing they had to go along with the dead calm Gulf waters. Shortly after leaving Pier 19 with this group of 32 fishermen, the turn to the South after passing the end of Galveston's South Jetty was made. After a run of seventy miles, they arrived at the fishing area and its numerous rock formations in around 160 ft. of water.

Their baits, pieces of cut squid or whole squid and Spanish sardines, along with the fishermen's efforts, produced this catch from near the surface to the bottom:
?Ģ 64 red snapper to 13#, a boat limit.
?Ģ 5 mangrove snapper to 10#
?Ģ 32 kingfish to 30#
?Ģ 2 amberjack to 33#
?Ģ 2 almaco jack
?Ģ 1 squirrelfish
?Ģ 2 ling of 33# each
?Ģ 8 Atlantic sharpnose sharks
?Ģ 20 bluerunner
?Ģ 1 bull dorado of 32# (mahi-mahi)

What a catch, with sizeable fish in several categories, topped off with that really nice 32# bull dorado. They had one of those catches that could occur many days, but for some unknown reason, don't get there. This was definitely a trip the group from LLC Management won't ever forget ...really nice job for a group of 32 fishermen.

You certainly can't take part in one of those catches if you aren't on the Capt. John. Give the office a call at 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853 to make your reservations.
