Sonoma Coast Snails and Spines aka Abalone Playground

Looks like a great trip.  I'd love to get in the water that far south some time.  Way to max your summer madness.   

I'd love to get in the water that far south some time. 

When you come visit the Santa Cruz Stockwells you better bring your dive gear so we can go an underwater Monterey and Carmel tour!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

That's what's up! Glad you guys got some.

Nice job out there! WTG Dan on your first ab! (and a limit at that!)

WTG fellas! Big congrats to you Daniel on your first ab.

Awesome! Super nice haul, guys! I was off the board for 3 days, and then I miss this report. Lol

Great vid, Jim!  So realistic, maybe I'll give up diving and just watch your vids 

Looks like the abalone weren't too scarce.  It took me a long time to learn how not to premature abulate....you'll get there grasshopper.

I'll take that over a giant abalone picked without my friends around any day of the week!!

Hey Jim,
Boil it, then ceviche it! I noticed the dive flag in your vid, sick! Daniel busted his ab cherry, sicker!

Thanks for the reports and pictures guys.  That what's a good time look like.

Big Jim,

I really like your new hair do

I boiled it with some Tony Chacheres and lemon...and then sliced it up and we ate it...

SO. DAMN. GOOD!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks again Andy!!!!!!

Joe, I don't leave home with out my trusty BloodBath DiveFlag....officially endorsed by BigJim to make sure people see where your board is at...comes in especially handy if you have a bad habit of diving alone!

 

DpShim is all growns up and he's all growns up!

Looks like a great weekend, wish I could have made it up at least for the day. Hopefully I will catch you next time around.

Haha omg, I gotta admit that I had a BLAST even though I'm now in trouble back at home lol!! Jim and Andy, thanks for being there to help a rookie out

Can't wait to do this again once I'm not grounded lol!! 

We had a great time! Fishing was a little slow-high wind and fast drift, but Shilo and I managed six each. Thing that torqued me off about this place, is that the day use fee of $8 is for EACH person in the vehicle. But, I guess it is worth the entertainment of the A-Hulls once you get there!
