Shellfish Trifecta and a 6lb BONUS!

Hooked up with Fuzz and left San Jose at 2:30 AM.  Got to Fort Ross just as it was getting light and paddled out into NASTY conditions.  Wind was blowing very hard from the south, whitecaps and RAIN.  It was the worst weather I've experienced diving.

We got limits of abs and picked some uni, but I paid some dues!

Next we stopped at Lawsons Landing.  The weather was better.  Less wind and rain with just an occassional shower.  We paddled to the sandbar and broke out the clamming arsenal.  Working hard, we ended up with 18 horseneck clams.  Since Fuzz had longer arms, it just made sense that he should be the chosen one to work the clams and pull them up from the deep.

We lent out some clam gear to another family and later aided in the recovery of their boat drifting in the channel.  I guess good deeds are smiled upon, as we drove home with a little bonus.

Fuzz,
Your a MACHINE!!!  Thanks!

Stuart

How did you get the King Salmon?

Nice job!  Need more details on the salmon though...

waiter.....I'll have the shake(salmon) sashimi with mirugai (giant clam) sushi on the side....oh, and I'll take a bowl of rice with an Uni (sea urchin) spread on top 

You guys should open up a seafood stand on El Camino 

Nice work 

Was the salmon a gift for the boat that drifted away? OR did you bonk  it with your ab iron? 

wow, i could do some things with that!!! got to love a adventure like that

Steve, I'm really hoping you can make it to the Elk derby this year! Would love to learn some of your cooking skillzzz

Stuie-

You weren't lying... you guys worked your a$$es off. Nice job... Tuesday sounds like a good night for dinner. 

Freddie

We didn't catch the salmon.  It was given to us.  Aparently the salmon fishing is pretty good up around Bodega.

Fred,
Dinner on Tues.  Come on by!!!

Stuart

The salmon fishing has been pretty hot off Bodega, unfortunately, the hot spot is about 12 miles off shore.  Later in the summer it should get within normal (i.e. not bluekayak) kayak range.

Brian

Awesome job.   I must have passed you guys on the way back.  We avoided the rain, but the conditions were still marginal.

Fred,
Dinner on Tues.  Come on by!!!

Stuart

Careful Stu I know where you live!!!
