Well, those two unwanted visitors "Breezy & Bumpy" were back today. The good news is that one of those multi-species catches was out there also. Today's fishing area was at that productive spot about forty miles offshore. Capt. Tony Langston pointed the sleek twin hulls of the partyboat Capt. John in a southerly direction after turning at the end of the Galveston south jetty.

Wrecks and rigs in the area's eighty ft. deep water produced this catch for the 63 fishermen and their squid or sardine baits:
?Ģ 126 red snapper to 13#, a daily limit for the 63 fishermen aboard.
?Ģ 36 lane snapper
?Ģ 41 mangrove snapper to 9#
?Ģ 40 Atlantic spadefish, "tiger snapper"
?Ģ 1 ling
?Ģ 1 kingfish

Not only was this a multi-species catch, taken under somewhat bouncy conditions, but those 41 mangrove snapper to 9 lbs. were quite impressive on their own. Breezy and Bumpy are bound to exit the area soon ... so make your reservation at the rail - give the office a call at 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853.

Capt. Tony Langston had them working their squid and sardine baits throughout the water column at wrecks and rigs in 110 ft. of water. Returning to Galveston's Pier 19,...... Read More
