Well, "Bumpy & Breezy" have returned to the area offshore of Galveston Island. With the catamaran hulls of the partyboat Capt. John slicing through the chop, Capt. Tony Langston motored south after clearing the end of the South Jetty.

After an offshore run of about 42 miles, the 42 fishermen played their baits out into the 100 ft. deep water. Their baits, cut squid and/or Spanish sardines were worked from near the surface to the wrecks on the bottom.

The baits, along with the fishermen's efforts, had this catch coming up, over the rail and eventually into the fish boxes:
?Ģ 52 red snapper to 9#
?Ģ 37 lane snapper
?Ģ 18 mangrove snapper
?Ģ 8 vermilion snapper
?Ģ 1 ling
?Ģ 312 Atlantic spadefish (tiger snapper)

Hopefully "Bumpy & Breezy" won't be around for very long, but at least a couple more days is forecast. Don't forget that the red snapper fishery being open in Federal waters is scheduled to last only through the end of October. Time's-a-wastin', as the saying goes. Give the office a call at 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853 to make your reservations at the rail on the Capt. John...call today.
