Sorry, I don't have any rig advice for you, I'm too land-locked and too much of a newbie for that. But I do have to give you kudos on your avatar, LMAO! Good one.

Go due so.180 degrees from the jetties and just pick one there are rigs at 2-5-8-40-50 and some of the best around 50-60.Thw condition out there have been outstanding for the last 3 months.IMy info comes from the capt.Dave of The New Buccaneer Party Cruiser and Fishing Charter.The water is warm and the clearest I`ve ever seen it even close in at 10.Have fun.

Since I live so close, I would like to launch at Galveston. I will probably try Freeport next.

Out of Galveston you can run 120 degrees....rigs 179, 193 & 204. Buy a Hot Spot waterproof fishing chart (Academy) It'll have all the rigs with loran/Gps numbers you need.

What kind of boat are you operating?

I have a 25ft Proline Center Console, 144 Gal fuel. While it only has one well kept 225 engine for main power, it does have a kicker motor that will push the boat a whopping 4 kph.

This is why I am trying to limit myself to no more than 40 miles.

Have you sucked air at these rigs, and if so, how were they.

Yes, I've sucked quite a lot of air at more rigs than I can remember. Used to own a charter fishing/diving business. Why don't you send me a PM. We could discuss some more.

Yall don't hide everything.

You could have some info that other people would like to know. I would love to get out and dive some Texas rigs. Especially with someone who would be willing to teach me how to spear fish.

Ditto!

I've been thinking about gettin' a SS 24" for catfish in local lakes, but could always rent a 48" for blue water.
