  • Offshore fishing in Galveston - how far do you have to go?

    As you can see from my post yesterday, we went out 22 miles from POC and got some good action. My question is, how far offshore do you have to go in order to get into deep enough water to catch some nice snapper, etc.

    Depends on water condition, time of year and where ya go. I'd say 20+ miles. My brother went about 18 yesterday and they caught 2 kings, 1 spannymac, 1 keeper snapper and had a ling come up but wouldn't eat. They got chased out by storms after 2 hours total time.

By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary.

      Thanks for the feedback. We would only go out if the wind laid down, since we are in a 21ft boat. I would just like to know a few rigs to hit and take it from there. As for time of year, I am assuming the cooler the water temp the closer to shore you can fish.

        You can easily anchor or hook up to a rig and start chumming and bottom fishing your bound to catch some lane and vermillion along with kings and perhaps a few just legal red snappers. Ling could show up easily and I've seen sail fish as close in as 15 miles plus one was caught earlier this year in State Waters!

            Does anyone have LAT/LONG for these rigs that are 10 to 15 miles out?

                  I'd try hitting the ones right out of the pass......one is 6 miles and 9 miles.

                        That is what I am talking about. Thanks again Mike, we might have to try it some time.
