With Capt. Tony Langston behind the wheel of the partyboat Capt. John, the offshore run to the SE began after exiting Galveston's jetties and entering the open Gulf.

After an approximately 40 mile trek, the 56 fishermen were set to fish this area's rocks and a wreck in the 80 ft. deep water over which Capt. Langston had positioned them.

Their cut squid and/or Spanish sardine baits fooled this catch into biting and coming aboard:
?Ģ 74 red snapper, the two heaviest went 16 and 18 lbs.

As you all know by now, red snapper season in Federal waters ends Oct. 31 at midnight.. However, there will still be many of the multi-species and great tasting fish out there, waiting for your bait to entice them onto the boat with you...call for reservations 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853 and book your trip(s) now.

Tony Langston had the area about 50 miles SE of Galveston targeted for the 69 fishermen aboard. Fishing their baits of...... Read More
