Freediving for Scallops and Lobster in SoCal

On today’s episode, Krousey dives different ledges and teaches you how to find your own scallops, as well as catch sea urchin, and lobster. Afterwards, we head off to a beach cookout to make Poached Lobster with Uni Butter, Seared Scallops, and Seaweed Salad.

    I appreciate that! Yup, this was if I remember correctly end of November before the rainfall started coming in. I love my Yazbeck wetsuits. A 5MM suit will keep you relatively warm off the coast (what I’m wearing in this video) but a 7mm is key if you want to dive the islands in the winter. Hope that helps!

  • @WildCaughtOutdoors

    @WildCaughtOutdoors

    4 жыл бұрын

    So when I first started to get into spearfishing and freediving, I used cheap gear. When you are first starting out this is all you need anyway. Long plastic swim fins (don't get the short ones), a good wetsuit, and maybe a mask set (although maybe splurge a little more on the mask so it doesn't leak). This will help you build up the skills/confidence in the shallows, and when you start to push out to deeper water, then it would be wise to invest more money into dive suits, better mask snorkels, and a good set of fins. Thinking of making a beginners video to freediving soon. Let me know if you have anymore questions, hope this helps you get started!

    Leo Carrillo is pretty overfished, it’s close to PCH so easy access for a lot of people. Surprised you didn’t have much luck at El Matador. I think since lobster season just opened there’s been a TON of divers heading out and the fish scattered to deeper water. Once we start getting deeper into winter, they’ll move back on the reefs. Happy spearing hope that helps 🤙

  • @WildCaughtOutdoors

    @WildCaughtOutdoors

    3 жыл бұрын

    It’s a bit tricky, and Mother Nature always has the final say. Best way to start is by understanding what’s going on in your local area, wind tide waves weather. What you want is a long duration of the least amount of water movement possible going on. That way sediment has a better chance to settle down. Usually waves and wind cause the most havoc, but big tide changes can as well. Offshore winds create epic conditions though. Hope that helps

I think Santa Monica should have them, and possibly Torrance Beach. I think in Malibu, you can get sheep crab, but you'd have better luck with your eyes than a crab net.
