Went to the CA state garage sale this morning hoping to find a great deal on used laptop but they're all sold out when I got there!  Took pictures of this place and some interesting items.

Too bad I don't need a desktop computer. Do you?


Need a lathe mill?


They even have a kayak for sale  


Try to figure-out what did they (our goverment) do with this pull chair?

Smoked Pepper Halibut Recipe

Ingredients

1-1/2  pounds fresh or frozen halibut cut 1 inch thick
2  canned chipotle chile peppers in adobo sauce
2  tablespoons adobo sauce
1  medium red sweet pepper, cut up
2  tablespoons lime juice
1  teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
2  cloves garlic, halved
1/4  teaspoon salt

Directions

Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. If necessary, cut fish into 4 serving-size pieces. For marinade, in a blender container combine chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, sweet pepper, lime juice, oregano, and garlic. Cover and blend until pureed. Transfer half of the marinade to a shallow dish; set aside remaining marinade.

Add fish steaks to dish, spooning some of the marinade over fish. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Drain fish, discarding marinade. Sprinkle fish with salt. Grill fish on the greased rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 8 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once halfway through grilling. Heat reserved marinade and serve as sauce with fish. Makes 4 servings.

Are you ready to catch a BIG one?

Kiel and I arrived at Miller Point boat launch at 7:45am.  It's foggy and very little wind


On the water around 8:15am.  Kiel's braking in his new T-13


We're heading toward Hog island to catch some live baits


We caught enough live baits for the day wihtin 1/2 hour and trolling live baits toward the deep channel.  Hog island was lively with lots of wild lifes.


It's a gorgeous day on the bay for kayaking.  Saw many touring kayakers enjoying the "perfect" weather for this bay

I need some OTW time.  Anyone want to fish Paradise for Hali tomorrow?

My first time at LM.  Arrived at LM state beach parking lot around 5:15am and waited until 6:15am but didn't sea anyone at the parking lot.  Tried to reach someone on CH69 but no reply!  Found out later that they meet at the small shopping "mall" near by (thanks to Allen).  Mooch and John/jdyak launched first while Tom/sirius, Ty/Ty_SuperFishMan, and I getting ready to launch next.  Mooch told us over the radio to hold off our launches as condition is not favorable for fishing out there.  So while we waiting for the condition to improve, we tried fishing from the surf and practice surf launching/landing.  Later Tom went out to join them but no one catch anything except for bait fish    I have great time fishing from the surf and practicing crash landing 

LM at dark o'clock


At the parking lot


Tom surf fishing


Got beat up by the waves from surf fishing so I took a break

It's time to get dirty again!  Low tide at Tomales on that day is -0.5ft at 7:51am.  Will go crabbing after clamming and trying to catch some fish while soaking the crab nets.  Will be at the parking lot around 6:30am and launching the kayak around 7:00am.  Companies are welcome!

Anyone interested in Sturgeon/Striper fishing around Mare Island area in late August?  If we got enough people, I can ask my friend to use his private property for parking/launching.
