This morning's 4 hour bay and jetty fishing trip by the partyboat Texsun II was headed up by Capt. Dan Bunday. He had the 34 fishermen working their baits of cut squid at or near the bottom at various spots near Galveston's South Jetty.

Along with the fishing they enjoyed the sights, sounds and the saltwater aromas of beautiful Galveston Bay.
