North Coast Abalone and Scallops

[mrfish40]

nice vid, nice spot, been there many times. 

[CondemnedPatriot]

Is this humboldt county?

[kevseadog]

@CondemnedPatriot

I can't say where, but it is normally very dirty if that helps you get an idea.

Thanks for watching.

Peace.

[norcallovenature]

hmmm....barely 7 inches, illegal! $ 1,450.00 fine plus equipment confiscate.

[kevseadog]

@norcallovenature Ha! Good one!

That's a 10" gague!

Peace.

[norcallovenature]

@kevseadog Good! that's pretty big abalone , kind of hard to find now these days.

[longfinnedeeler]

@norcallovenature What the fuck you moron...the guage is a 10 inch guage. How the fuck do you conclude an Ab that measures up in a 10 guage is 7?

[mikemanges]

I really enjoyed this vid. What a treat to find those scallops, not mention your 10. Good job.

[mikejaegerlive]

Great video.

[njangraw]

very nice video

[11harrison11]

looks like a wonderful hobby , I've never eaten abalone but I hear it's great. I do inlay work and use lots of abalone, mop, exotic woods etc. I'd love to harvest some shells myself, I think I would enjoy that...thanks for posting!

[mepipeline]

[Travelinggipsyhap]

Great video...

[KURTNSTRAUSS]

Great video guys! I can't stop watching it! Hope you guys are up there for the Picasso! Who is the artist singing?

[scubaBen21]

watch out for the white sharks

[cortesbugslayer]

Great music. The whole vid has a nice vibe. Can't wait to go again.

[dosramos]

Great Video. Are you wearing a 5mm or 7mm suit?

[fungihntr]

What kind of water craft is that in the video? Would be a nice craft for north coast diving. Thanks

[miodios]

That is a body board with a mesh bag and bungees.

[JOGAFUTEBOL]

this video is nice i miss diving but I havent had any time and season is almost over too bummer.

[motaloca]

The season for diving is NEVER over!

[miodios]

You got that right!

[kevseadog]

I try an gift most of my shells to local indigenous people who carve traditional adornments for dance regalia. Kirby cleans up the big ones really well and we both carve jewlry, and fishooks and such from some as well.

[X4WSWX4]

do you guys use dose shells 2?

[varmintslayer1]

Great video. What a great flat day out there. Looked like an average tide which I think is better because the kelp seems to kinda pile up on the big minus tide days. My mother has a place in Sea Ranch and I used to go there a lot. 10-11" abs used to be trophies back then but were somewhat available if you looked for a while and the 9.5" abs were everywhere. Reminds me of some good times camping and making abalone poppers with the jalepenos inside em. Can you still get 4 a day out there?

[longfinnedeelcatcher]

I never ever realized people chased Abalone based purely on size. We are from NZ. Massive Paua in SOME parts of NZ. Abalone are literally a dime a dozen. On one particular island you can see thousands of Abalone in the rocks at low tide. And I mean thousands.

[ycats1000]

what uhhh....

what islands this man?

[hiking4dollars]

Nice Vid Kevin. Looks like you guys are having fun out there. Peas

[mattmattison]

I can not get enough of this video. Any time some one pulls a ten is something to notice of, If you are interested I would like to go diving with you some time if so send me a meesage.

[miodios]

About half of the views were from me. That video is amazing. Thanks Kevin!

[kevseadog]

This particular one was only about 15ft deep. Unusual in all respects as it was out in the open. Look deep in caves and cracks that look like they couldn't even house an ab. Dive a lot, look a lot, you'll find one if you're persistant. However these are the oldies so try not to take too many of em. Peace.

[mattmattison]

Hi I was wondering how deep were you diving and where would you recomend I search for my own ten help please.

[mattmattison]

Congrads on the ten ! thats is something to be proud of. Great job,

[abdiver12]

Great video, especially the 10 inch ab which is a real rarity and a trophy. What's the bag limit on scallops?

[gga500000]

Why didnt u blast those nice fish, cab, ling, rockfish??

[JOGAFUTEBOL]

great video...is there as many scallopps there as abs...?

[kevseadog]

There are very few abs this far north, scallops are abundant everywhere along California's coast though because most people don't recognize them and they are typically pretty deep. These were freak occurances as they were found in as shallow as 12ft. Most start at abot 30ft. Glad you liked the vid. if you decide to persue them, cut away everything but the abducter muscle and discard as these parts are poisonous most of the year

[whopperhead]

Interesting video- I've never seen that before- Good Water Entry.

[kevseadog]

We'd already speared a few fish larger than the ones in the film. One of the lings was leagal (barely) in the footage, the other ling and Cabazone were youngins. Bag limit on scallops is 10 per day, no size limit, but there's not much meet in the dinks so it pays to persue larger ones. Peace.
