This afternoon's bay and jetty fishing trip by the Texsun II was headed up by Capt. Johnny Williams. Using pieces of cut squid for bait, fished at or near the bottom, they wound in a catch made up of whiting, sand trout, Atlantic sharpnose shark,numerous hardhead catfish and a 30 lb. ling.

The trip's highlight was that 30 lbs. ling, caught at the North jetty by eleven year old Lauren Peterson from Weatherford, Texas. Other than the ling, today's catch was pretty much the norm.

There were two bay fishing trips run today, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Both of these four hour trips were run with Capt. Johnny Williams behind the wheel.

Various stops were made in Galveston Bay after leaving Pier 19, the morning trip had 52 fishermen aboard, with 60 making the afternoon trip.The fishermen's baits of cut squid produced catches which included Atlantic sharpnose shark, whiting, numerous hardhead catfish, sand trout and gafftop catfish.

These family oriented four hour bay and jetty fishing trips are an excellent opportunity to experience basic partyboat saltwater fishing. Children are especially suited to this exposure to saltwater fishing that don't have a long run to the fishing areas, nor is it a trip with a length that may become boring to them. These bay and jetty trips are an excellent stepping stone for graduating to longer day trips farther offshore.

Whatever your experience level, these bay and jetty fishing trips on the Texsun II offer a chance to have one of those multi-species catches. Give the office a call at 409-762-8808 or 713-223-4953 and make your reservations for a four hour bay and jetty fishing trip.
