scallop diving

Freediving for scallops in Sonoma County (Northern California). Scallops can be found by looking for the gap between the two shells and by looking the orange or red mantel. They usually grow on the face of vertical rocks or in caves. The first fish is a wolf eel, the second fish is a cabezon.

What's the limit on Scallops? Also is it still legal to take Abalone?

[seahunter1]

@FishingKing754 It wasn't a limit. A limit is 10 scallops. We can still take abalone, but they reduced the limit to 3 a day and 24 a year

nice video. How deep are you diving? Any more tips for a prospective scallop diver?

[seahunter1]

@dhudsonsf These were 15-20 feet deep. Check cracks that run down pinnacles.

[seahunter1]

god damn those things are huge, the only scallops I ever caught were on the east coast (N. Carolina) and a big one would be 4 inches diameter

I often go, but don't see them. Any particular location in Sonoma.
