Having those great Gulf conditions, 2 ft. or less swells, made for a nice day of fishing, other than the heat. Capt. Tony Langston headed the partyboat Capt. John through the calm waters of the Gulf in a sort of southerly direction, with the target area being about thirty miles out wth it's wrecks and rigs in around 70 ft. of water. Working their squid or sardine baits from the near surface to the bottom, the 83 wound in this catch:
?Ģ 166 red snapper to 12#, with many running 5-7#, which was a boat limit.
?Ģ 30 vermilion snapper
?Ģ 40 lane snapper
?Ģ 16 mangrove snapper to 10#
?Ģ 1 rockhind grouper
?Ģ 151 Atlantic spadefish, a.k.a. tiger snapper
?Ģ 2 rainbow runner
?Ģ 1 kingfish

It's apparent from three reports that the fishing has been pretty good lately. Unfortunately, the weather forecast for the Western Gulf is going down hill for the next couple of days due to a passing tropical system. That situation won't last forever though, give the office a call at 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853 to make your reservations, call today.
