I've been thinking of going on one again, caught a monster Warsaw Grouper a few years ago on one out of Galveston.

They are targeting snapper right now during the short season. The season was just extended six more days. I didn't weigh any of the fish but I'm guessing the bigger ones are in the 14 lb range. It was a good trip
liltex Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 If you go offshore on a Galveston Party boat try to reserve a spot off the back of the boat.Less line crossing and you can drift a spanish sardine to catch kings,ling etc.Bring some wire leaders 24" and put 2 hooks 6" apart & hook 1 through the head,the other bury in the flesh behind the fin and attach a strong swivel to 1 end.Buy your own bait and fish big baits-not the small squid they chop up and put in the troughs and gets hot and keep your bait in a sm.cooler w/ice to keep fresh(note:fresh 6-8" mullet works well).You're better off to bring 2 of your own hvy rods cause theirs is junk ;)

I thought about getting some mullet but time slipped up on me. You have to reserve far in advance to get at the back of the boat. I may bring my own rod next time but the ones supplied by the boat will get the job done.
bh89-2 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 Yall need to come jump on Grumpy Two and catch a mess of big fish. Those party boats leave a bit to be desired.

PNG Proud Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 Bullets, a couple of reds and you'd have an awesome slam!
bullets13 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 don't catch many reds out there, but the flounder were between 17-19 inches, except for one. that was NICE!
bullets13 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 [img]http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4521/275s.jpg[/img]got my slam, it just took an extra trip :)
PNG Proud Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Nice fish, and the water looks really calm! :)
bullets13 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 that was the only calm spot on Keith Lake. and the fishing sucked too, besides that big boy.

mat Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 Good catch, especially considering the past weather

BearBryant Posted July 26, 2012 Report Posted July 26, 2012 I went a couple of weeks ago with my two sons and a buddy and we brought home 10 reds and 21 specs. Very nice trip. My youngest caught a four foot bullshark as well. My oldest got a three four alligator gar too.
