El Gato Dos...

Here are a few highlights from the trip...It was a pretty solid day. We hauled ass straight South West into Mexican waters about 35 miles out. Spotted a few big marlin, a bunch of tuna and a few good size pods of porpoise...but no one was hungry. So we high tailed it back North to the Coronado Islands. Switched out our rigs to troll the bottom and it paid off...we reeled in Whitefish, Sculpin, Rock fish, a Sheepshead and a Grouper...The Grouper being the largest of the day...pulled in by Joe. Thanks for setting it all up Dave! Great to see you guys!

If you are ever looking to charter a fishing boat out of San Diego...Give Bryan Zulka a buzz...Great guy...Busts his ass out there for you. I think this was my 5th or so time out with him on the El Gato Dos...I highly recommend it!

Man...I just keep getting more and more handsome by the year! Chartering the El Gato Dos for a 3/4 day fishing trip tomorrow...Keep your thoughts of bountiful fish harvests and ice cold Coors Lights strong and often! It's been a little quiet out there on the water lately...hopefully we can turn that around tomorrow!

Photo Drop...

Sleepy Kids...

iPhoner...Look at all of the beauty and wonder she was blessed to be taking in across the table...

I don't blame her I would have played with my iPhone too! Oh wait...I was...That's how I took the earlier photo. Damn iPhones...I still don't know if they are a blessing or a curse. Me...enjoying an ice cold canning jar of water...Macking down on some bacon and planning my strategic attack on my Blackberry and Cap'n Crunch Pancake...Cafe on Park...AWESOME...

Meggy loving up the Bull @ Siesel's...

I would like to take a moment to talk about this beautiful image. I wished I had a better photo of the burger...I guess I'll just have to make them again. I check out a lot of food blogs...But I rarely act on trying the recipes...This one was too good to pass up! I was planning on meatloaf for dinner when Megan sent me a link to Perry's Plate. HOLY AMAZING! Best burger I have had in a while! I am already looking for an excuse to make them again and we just had them last night. Then the onion rings from a blog called Recipe Girl...Freaking awesome too...and they were BAKED! Onions dipped in a mixture of bbq sauce,egg and flour, covered in panko bread crumbs then baked in the oven. Oh man! I super dug them...fresh out of the oven...So good! I think our next stab at these they will be coated in some sort of curry...man I am getting hungry all over again. Aaaand I almost forgot...that beautiful frosty glass full of Ballast Point Big Eye IPA...straight from the source...Tasty!

Picked up the lights...Someday the roof rack might show up...maybe...someday...

Ray LaMontagne @ Harrah's Rincon...Awesome set!

I tried to talk Megan into letting me buy it...She wasn't having it...It's okay...I wanted the brown one any way and they didn't have my size...

Lucy is growing like a weed...
