Wow! That was probably the comment about today's offshore fishing trip by the partyboat Capt. John that all of the 63 fishermen aboard would agree with. That term matched the weather, sea conditions, and last but not least, the excellent multi-species catch. With Capt. Tony Langston leading the charge, the 70 mile run to the SE started through the dead calm Gulf after their exit through the Galveston jetties.

Destination for the days fishing was rock formations and wrecks in about 150 ft. of water, with the locals down there waiting for their baits. The baits used were squid that varied from whole to small cut pieces and whole or cut Spanish sardines. Those baits, fished throughout the water column and the fishermen's efforts brought this catch aboard and into the fish boxes...

If today's catch doesn't qualify as rating a "Wow!", I don't know what does. To make your reservations on board the Capt. John and take your shot at possibly being part of one of these great multi-species catches, give the office a call at 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853. You never know which day it's going to happen. It's only appropriate to describe all aspects of today's trip once again with one word..."Wow!". Make that call to the Pier 19 office.
