3-21-22-2008 Well, This trip never made it to Boomvang they ended up not having a big enough fuel tank so instead they just turned it into a bluewater trip to Tequila trying to catch whatever they could find. Boated several nice amberjack,kings and a load up vermillion snapper weighing pretty good size so everyone got fish.trolled but, found no wahoo then turned around and came back into dock.
3-21-30-2008 Captain Dan had a Galveston close in trip, Managed some statewater snapper,2 bullreds,several blackdrum released at boatside. Also on the latest trip he was catching sheephead
4-1-6-2008 Deep water trips are producing some Nice Big amberjack and grouper and grain feed vermillion snapper, Ling and wahoo are still scattered around the gardens so are the mako's. Dan brought me a report of a big one that decided he could get a free meal from his boat he did too he managed to bite in half a nice 40lb amberjack right in half. Thats adrenaline hahaha,, You just have to watch the weather blowing up. And be ready to take the first open hole out.

4-09-2008 Galveston bay Fishing- Fishing the bay has been getting slower with redfish and trout and sheephead. The winds have been pushing the water out of west bay and most boats haven't been able to get in and get any trout fishing done. The sheephead were showing up until the winds showed they are still there just very scattered.The redfish at the boat cut have slowed alot. Even the tift showed signs of fish patterns slowing down. Waters are warming Come On shark! No sharks yet but, should be showing in a few weeks.

Sea's were not to bad. Made the run brought in Full limits for 4 people Amberjack,Kingfish were kinda scarce around stetson rock not a good bite we sat there awhile and only managed 1 kingfish so we moved on and managed a few more.Found a stray shark and brought him in, and managed full limits of vermillion snapper.

I Had 3 Boats running jetty trips out this Sat-Sun. with 6 people onboard all Galveston boats brought limits of the legal keeper drum, sheephead all kept and boxed and cleaned at the dock and 1 no show at the boat on Sat. Very nice people. I will be adding alot of reports but, most are all Jetty trips right now. Unless Captain Dan Can calm the wind gods and be able to run. We had had alot of bluewater trips to 80 miles but, the winds have really keep us all at dock. We fish when we can get out.

4-23-2008 Galveston Offshore Fishing - scouting trip
Had 2 boats out yesterday and found ling! from 25-30 lbs. Not big but, good eating fish brought in full limits. Captain Dan and Captain Bill's boats Ling are starting to migrate in around 40 miles offshore in Galveston, Lots of baby sharks really wouldn't even want to keep any of these, didn't find any kingfish spanish mackeral are scattered but, comming in. Did find a few stranger statewater red snapper about 2 of them weighing around 5lbs a piece about 6 miles out not to far pass the jetties. No mahi yet. It is still early we figure a couple more weeks and things should really light up offshore. Galveston seems to be holding some descent snapper this year. Big ling should be starting up in a week or so.

With 2' less seas yesterday Lynn Had Captain Dan out deep. I must make a note here for everyone deep is out 80,Offshore is out to 50 miles. Captain Dan is running deep. I have also had alot of people thinking captain Dan's info is on my website no it is not you must book his trips through Lynn. Yes, I do own Workingman Charters. And no the rumors of me retiring is not true either. Ok now with this matter settled here is the report
