With Capt. Tony Langston in the driver's seat, the partyboat Capt. John headed to the south, after passing the end of Galveston's South Jetty. The 32 fishermen were in for a smooth ride once again, with seas running 2 ft. or less.

The fishing area, 50 miles offshore and its wrecks in 105 ft. of water was waiting for the fishermen's baits of Spanish sardines and pieces of cut squid. The combined efforts of the fishermen and their baits had this catch going into the fish boxes...
?Ģ 64 red snapper to 8 lb., a daily limit for the 32 fishermen.
?Ģ 21 mangrove snapper to 8 lb.
?Ģ 18 lane snapper
?Ģ 30 vermilion snapper
?Ģ 102 Atlantic spadefish, i.e. "Tiger Snapper"
?Ģ 3 rockhind grouper

Bob Earle, Galveston, with a red snapper limit to 8 lbs.

Sam Rosas, Sugarland, had 5 mangrove snapper to 8 lb. to go along with his red snapper limit to 8 lb.

Philip Morin, Pearland, and his 11 year old daughter Devan each had red snapper limits and a mangrove snapper. Philip had three lane snapper that he added to his red snapper catch.

An assortment of snapper types and grouper, a nice catch to go along with the conditions offshore today that everyone on the Capt. John had to work with. To make your reservations on the Capt.
