After a few days off, Capt. Tony Langston was again at the wheel of the partyboat Capt. John. With somewhat bumpy conditions continuing offshore, the run to the South was smoothed to a great degree by the long, twin hulls of the Capt. John.

The destination for today's fishing was several wrecks about forty miles offshore in 90 ft. of water. With fishing for red snapper being on the slow side for some reason, those hard-pulling and great eating Atlantic spadefish, also know as tiger snapper, took up the slack for the 79 fishermen. This catch that attempted to eat their cut squid or Spanish sardine baits, was made up of:
?Ģ 80 red snapper, most keepers, with 2 of 10 lbs. each.
?Ģ 301 Atlantic spadefish (tiger snapper)

With the weather during the next work week being influenced by the path of Hurricane Dean, the office is the source of information on scheduled trips in the near future. Give the Galveston Pier 19 office a call to make your Capt. John reservations at 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853. While Dean is forecast to be a distant concern, who knows what good effect its wave action might have on our near future fishing offshore out of Galveston.
