Bayshore's Captain John Trip - May 21st

We had 24 friends and members of Bayshore go out with Captain John's Fishing Boats for a one day trip. This was the first offshore fishing trip for many of them. And almost everybody had an exceptional time!

Here is the video from the Trip:




I know they don't look like much ... but you should hear this quartet sing! (grin)Jonathan had a great time ... still bearing the scars from the youth paintball trip!On the way out, it was great to stand on the top deck and chew the fat!

Matt and Josh (bling bling) had a great time!



All I can say is that the door was fine when Tazz got there ... how that changed is a good story. There is the truth ... and then there is my version! (laughing) Somehow with that hat on, I think Tazz would fit in great with the Red Hat Ladies at the Church!


Dennis (Vicki's Dad) with a Spade Fish!
Stanley catching a little Rest and Relaxation!
Micah showing a side of him that we all knew existed! (grin)
Rose is a fish catching Machine!

Here is the king I caught.
Rose's Dad with his kingfish!
Wayne with his fish. I think it is the only fish he caught all day long! (laughing) All the rest of the fish he took home were caught by Rose!

The Son's of Thunder and their fish!
We had a fantasic trip. Special thanks to Captain Tony Langston who was the Captain of the boat. He put us on fish right off the bat. Deckhands Ben and Dan took great care of our people and did an exceptional job. Even Tony the Galley Master did great! He cooked the best burgers on the boat and he was a great kingfish smasher! (grin)

We look forward to going out again with Captain John.
I highly recommend them!

Historical Information on Galveston's North and South Jetty

I have been doing some research on the History of Galveston's North and South Jetties. Here is a paper published about 20 years ago - very informative - a little technical, but still an amazing find. Construction and Rehabilitation History of the Galveston Jetties Costal Hydraulics Laboratory Fact Sheet Galveston Harbor Jetty, Galveston Texas www.tpub.com Tech Report 9 1874-1879 The first attempt at constructing jetties was begun by placing cement covered gabions over distances of 9,700 and 2,200 ft. on the north (Bolivar Point jetty) and south (Fort Point jetty) sides of the inlet, respectively. An additional 500 ft of north jetty was constructed of timber piling at its landward end. The gabions were 6 ft high and wide, from 6 to 12 ft long, and filled with dredged sand once positioned. The jetties were submerged, extending no higher with the majority from 5 to 6 ft below than mean low water (mlw). The gabionades were unsuccessful in either securing a...

Black Drum Run: How To Vent Black Drum

Venting the air bladder on Bull Reds and Big Black Drum. Right now the Black Drum Run is on. While at the jetty today - I saw numerous drum caught - pictures taken - then dumped back in the water - floating belly up because they did not empty the air bladder. I thought it would be good to post instructions on how to do this so we can assure the survival rate of these fish. Below are the instructions. What I have found that works great is a Turkey Spice Injector - I bought mine at Academy for $3.50. It works great! Here are directions: Venting trapped gases from a fish caught from deep water Use the largest hypodermic needle you can find (#10 or larger) and remove the plunger. Insert hypodermic needle at a 45 degree angle, under a scale, near the tip of the pectoral fin and squeeze the fish gently. You will hear the trapped gases escaping. Make a needle clearing tool from a piece of stainless leader wire to clear any tissue, etc. from the needle and leave this tool in the need...
