Having a dead calm to run through made for a smooth ride all day. The trip offshore by the partyboat Capt. John was made in a southerly direction after turning the end of the Galveston South Jetty. Targeted fishing area was a series of rocks about fifty miles offshore in around 100 ft. of water. On the return run home, drift fishing was done by a weedline. As usual, Capt. Tony Langston made the extra effort to improve the catch for the day.

All 82 fishermen's squid or sardine baits, worked from the Bottom to near the surface, did their part in bringing this catch over the rail:
?Ģ 164 red snapper to 20#, a boat limit
?Ģ 15 lane snapper
?Ģ 13 vermilion snapper
?Ģ 8 dorado to 10#, at the shrimpboat

Another reminder about the red snapper fishery in Federal waters being open only through the end of October. Don't let it slip away from you. The closure this time could be until June 2008, that's 7 months! While numerous other species are caught on a regular basis, if red snapper is your interest, time is running out. Call the Pier 19 office at 409-762-8808 to make your reservations. Get aboard and see what your multi-species catch will be...call today.
