The return of relatively calm sea conditions for this day trip by the partyboat Capt. John was certainly welcome. With a few persistent showers to the south of Galveston Island, Capt. Tony Langston made run to the SE after passing the South Jetty.

Rocks and wrecks about 55 miles offshore in 125 ft. of water were the destination chosen for the 75 fishermen. Using standard partyboat baits of cut squid or whole Spanish sardines resulted in this catch being iced down in the fish boxes:
?Ģ 150 red snapper to 12#, a boat limit
?Ģ 1 mangrove snapper, 10#
?Ģ 2 dorado - 8# ea. (mahi-mahi)

Make your reservations on the Capt. John and experience some of this family-style offshore fishing at a reasonable cost...give the office a call at 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853. Don't forget - the red snapper fishery will close for 2007 in just a little over three weeks.
