Sept. 27,2010
9_27_2010 had the pleasure of taking out the acadian group today what a great bunch of people these people could fish managed a limit of Bullreds all kept and tagged. 20 knot winds stopped us from going offshore but, fishing at the jetty was the option at the last minute. The Bullreds are loving this cooler weather today just beautiful but, a wet ride out with wind blowing the tops off the water at us. 10_01_2010 Seca cancelled for 2 boat trip and rebooked the donzi. 10_02_2010 We had a private trip today with Fuseco out of dallas Texas was a rough one today but, man these guys were fisherman had limits of BIG red snapper in 2 hrs. catching and successfully releasing smaller under 10 lb snapper reason why keep smaller 10 lbers when captain Bill can put people on 15 lbs and above who says our red snapper fishery is overfished. Well start of Red Snapper Season with a bang. We had a rough slow going start this morning but, We had 2 customers onboard today that privatly chartered the Donzi We did make it out to 50 miles and found the red snapper. Man it was cranking today 5-6' solid but, the sows were there. So much for being fished out huh. Get these weights 25 lbs, 22 lbs, 18 lbs and 1 more a bit smaller not much just say around 15 lbs. Captain Bill called in a report they aren't in yet they decided to stop off at the jetties and pick up some bullreds. The trips are runnable you just need to go slow and easy but, a 35' center consoleis plenty big enough with alot of room. Will post the pictures on the tonight when bill gets in. So far so good nice snapper !Everyone take care Lynn and captain Bill Curry-Finsanity Boat-Bill took some good pics today. U can also check out my fishing report page on our website.

46' & 42 " Bullred caught on 9_05_2010 by the Irvin Family with Captain Bill on Finsanity the Donzi 9_22_2010 Took out a business trip for catch and release fish not a boat in site at the jetty we had it all to ourselves and the fishing paid off caught a 42 " bullred biggest fish of the day we fished 6 hrs. on a half day trip live and dead bait. Caught gafttop up to 8 lbs lots of craoker and sandtrout. The winds have definitly picked up this month along with out running storm fronts. But, Fishing has been pretty good for captain bill. On my beachfront trips I have haven't been seeing as many sharks as normal lots of 4-5' ters but, my biggest ones I am seeing are out deep. This time of year I love the Bullred runs it is a wait and see but, they do show up and the jetty water temps are cooling some down to about 87 yesterday windy not very good trout conditions but, great for the bullreds because they don't follow a tidal motion.. Well should have a report from a night fishing trip tonight stay tuned.These are great trips for the in-experienced angler to learn how the bite feels. Trout trips are more geared towards a experienced angler who can feel the bite. Remember saltwater fish don't bite like freshwater fish trout bite more like brim but, with a harder bite feel.

Case of Yacht Theft Solved, Arrest Made
GalvestonCountyPoliceNews.Com
In August Officers of the GPD Patrol Division were dispatched to the Galveston Yacht Basin to investigate the theft of a 31 foot Wellcraft Scarab fishing boat valued at over $150,000. There were initially no leads in the case.
A week later the boat was recovered by the Texas City Police Department. And had been stripped and abandoned.
It was later discovered video surveillance cameras at the Galveston Yacht Basin had captured the theft. This video footage fueled the investigation which led to the development of a suspect in the case.
Further investigation led to the identification of Christopher Ratliff as the person believed to be responsible for the theft. The Galveston County District Attorney's Office accepted charges in this case and an arrest warrant was issued for Ratliff.
Today Christopher Ratliff surrendered himself to the Galveston Police Department on charges of Theft a first degree felony punishable by up to life in prison. Ratliff's bond was set at $100,000.
As lead investigator, Detective John Blackwell is credited with developing leads and bringing about the solution to this crime and the arrest of the perpetrator. The Galveston County Auto Crimes Task Force assisted in the investigation which is continuing.
Additional arrest may be forthcoming.

August 3,2009 Had a family of 7 for Monday which we had to split up into 2 trips the ladies did a jetty and the guys went for red snapper. First time I have ever done a trip where we hit dock split up and went back out to let the rest fish. Bascially a statewater trip is what we ran having 18" snapper keepers at the reef and bonnet head sharks and Bullreds at the jetties. Travis's mom did managed a 6' blacktip got to the boat and when Randy hit the gaff that was all she wrote that shark was green and came alive breaking the line. On this trip we used 40 lb. test not my usuall 80 lb. Lynn is posting photo's. No doubt these people were fisherpeople and could feel the bite thanks everyone Randy and I really enjoyed having you guys onboard.

Offshore up to 50 miles bringing in spotty catch's at best think the water temp has really started to chase the fish bringing in red snapper, a few spanish mackeral,spotty kings no ling or mahi.
Aug 8,2009
Offshore up to 50 again still about the same thing and i fished Freeport area I checked out all my best spots the only thing I can think of is the fish have made a deep run now. Checked with Dan after he made a 75 mile run he brought in 20 lb snapper with only 1 king nothing else. So with this being One of the hottest summers on record I believe the fish have took a sabaticle and ran deep.Lindsey Thanks so much Lynn was beaming when I got in last night about her flowers. Just so everyone knows what is going on Lynn helped her family get a last minute trip with a excellent captain she has gave them a great short run trip for snapper and kings just in time to make it to their ballgame back in Houston so Lindsey Baker thank you very much you made my wife's year that much better, I always thank her for all she does but, your gesture was just perfect. Thank you very much Capt.Bill

July 26,2009 Not sure what was going on with the fish on sunday they just weren't biting like that have been came in with a 6' shark caught off the shrimpers limit of kingfish biggest being 25 lbs and 3 keeper snapper. got back to dock and even the fish cleaning table was dry so i guess it turned into a a good day. No ling were sighted or found. August 2,2009 Been having alot of trips this week for the jetties and Deep out to 70 miles out. On the jetty trips we have been bringing in some decent specks,and sand trout,and slot reds, Bullreds are picking up and biting pretty good also. Out deep I have been bring in some big kingfish,limits of nice snapper up to 18lbs and some nice 6' blacktip shark. The water has started to heat up more than normal on the 50 mile trips all the mahi are at the tidal rips out about 62 miles and when have sure been bringing in nice limits of them last trip we boated about 80 chicken dolphin. Ling are out deep I am guessing the water temp has so much to do this and come sept this fishing should be better closer in at 50 miles. We have been hitting the shrimpers and banging the fish when we can get through the sharks. Blackfin are holding out about 80 miles so are the big wahoo up to 100 lbs.
