"Breezy & Bumpy" made their presence known today during the Capt. John's offshore run. Unfortunately, their cousin "Nasty" joined them in the afternoon. This was definitely one of those days when the design technology used in building the hulls of the Capt. John made for a fishable day under less than perfect sea conditions. With this to contend with, Capt. Tony Langston had the 56 fishermen working their baits over rocks and wrecks. Those spots, about 50 miles south of The Island in 100 ft. of water gave up another of those multi-species catches these day trips are known for. The day's catch was made up of the following:
?Ģ 112 red snapper to 20#, a boat limit
?Ģ 50 vermilion snapper
?Ģ 9 mangrove snapper
?Ģ 28 lane snapper
?Ģ 20 Atlantic spadefish
?Ģ 2 bonnethead sharks
?Ģ 13 gray triggerfish

Aaron Hardin, Texas City - this 9 year old fisherman was at it again with a red snapper limit to 7# plus gray triggerfish and vermilion snapper.

Kenny Swanson, Galveston - his red snapper limit included a nice 17 pounder. He also had a vermilion snapper limit of 10.

Sam Rosas, Sugarland - had a red snapper limit to 8#

Reuben Villareal, Houston - a red snapper limit from 8 to 20#. His sow red snapper was the day's heaviest.

One thing this catch brings out is that the surface conditions didn't affect their feeding habits out there today. To make your reservations on the Capt. John and get in on these last days of the red snapper fishery for this year, give the office a call at 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4853. The clock is running and will strike twelve, so to speak, seemingly in a heartbeat...the six to eight month closure starts Nov. 1.
