Fishing!For some reason, I just love to go fishing. Not just any kind of
fishing, but trout fishing in clear mountain streams or else ocean fishing,
preferably down Mexico way where the water is warm, the fish are large and
tasty, the tortillas and limes are so good, etc...

A couple of years ago , right off La Jolla when all the squid were in the water. 20 pound White Sea Bass off my kayak. Lots of fish tacos!!Picture taken with my oldest boy Eli. |

Off a kayak in Mexico, this 58 pound Roosterfish pulled me around for over two hours! Seriously! Then another hour to paddle with him back to the beach so that people would believe me. He pulled me WAY out to sea. We were real close to two humpback whales. I was hoping there were no big, hungry sharks around. |

While sailing on a friend's boat near Manzanillo, I tossed out a large lure. I was bit almost immediately and 2 1/2 hours later this beauty decided to join us for dinner! The had sailed all the way from San Diego and only caught bonito. I said, "er.... let's try a different lure."ps.. I would have loved to release the fish, but it was dead by the time it was landed. And it was delicious! also... I had no filet knife, and I was just sailing..... and I found a guy fishing for little fish in the harbor, and I asked if he had a knife. He said "Si". I said he could have half of a fish if he filetted it. His eyes went HUGE when he saw the fish. I'm sure he went home to a happy family that evening!

Oh yes, TWO 20 pound-plus Yellowtail, caught on the first day of Winter, 2009. Yep, Dec 21, on a beautiful day. Back at the beach by 8:30 am. I know I could have caught three, but no need to be greedy. |

A good day at the Coronado Islands, right off of San Diego.Plenty of fresh sashimi that day. With my oldest boy, Eli.

Down in Mazatlan the birds were diving like crazy right off the beach chasing the little bait fish. Well.... a couple of casts later right where the birds were telling me the fish were.... a nice one!! Excellent "Al mojo de ajo"! Garlic and butter and a special Margarita! |
