I think it’s amazing that you tell people where you catch your scallops, I have tried to contact people through KZread to see who would be willing to take me on a dive but usually I get the same reaction like I’m from another world and don’t belong . I think as fellow dive buddies , it should be like a family thing and I’d say to anyone, when you come to Newfoundland, my house is your house and I’d love to take you diving here . Thanks for the video bro

I am sorry you had a negative experience trying to get into scallop diving. I have also had issues with people not being happy I made a video about it or at this location. Green's Point is probably the most popular shore diving site for scallops in all of the Maritimes. I don't believe I gave away anyone's secret "Spot". The number of people who actually dive for scallops is quite small and scallops move around so much I don't think there is a real threat of overfishing. Thanks for watching!

My girlfriend is from St.Anthony. I am hoping to get up your way eventually to make a few films. You might see some cool stuff about the Nfl and Labrador eventually on this channel. Take care.

Thanks Kevin!

Fundy diving while there’s snow. What a chad

nice - many years ago my buddy dove for scallops and hauled out some nice big ones like that. We cooked a few right on shore, in the shell, with a splash of beer. unforgettable!

It's a lot of fun even if you don't end up with your limit by the end of the day. Gives you something to look for while diving.

Hey love the video man! Are you aware of any spots to freedive for scallops on the NS side of the bay. Obviously everybody talks about Digby, but it is really hard to get any information regarding spots on the internet. I would just love to dive there on my vacation and maybe catch a couple scallops (if I am lucky) to say I have done it! Also interested in what times / tides you think diving for them is best? Greetings from Germany!

Willkommen bei kanada! I would suggest going at low tide as the difference is quite a lot, probably around 8 meters around the Digby area and more the further up the bay you go. I don't know very much about free diving for them and the water is quite cold year round. The scallop season is only during the winter time to avoid the chance of catching scallops contaminated with red tide. I hope this helps.

The algae, known as red tide, produces toxins that are filtered by bivalves such as mussels, clams, quahogs and oysters. It is a naturally occurring phenomenon that leads to interruptions in the shellfish harvest in parts of the Maritimes and Atlantic coast every summer.

well done! I hope to get down next tide

I was there on Saturday on my way back from Deer Island and saw a bunch of scallop shells, maybe they were yours!

Maybe a few of them. I think there must be a few thousand shells in and out of the water. Years of people harvesting on that same beach.

This is the website with the information for the Maritime region. Like most government websites it is not very user friendly. Just take your time and read through the rules and try to understand the fishing zones you want to fish and their season closure dates. There are also different scallop size minimums depending on zone and area. It is overwhelming at first but most of the information is on the DFO website. Thanks for watching and I hope this helps! www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fisheries-peches/recreational-recreative/maritimes/invert-eng.html#scallop

did you ever go back there for more scallops..

Looks delicious, have you ever tried bacon wrapped scallops? :)

Yes I have. They are great 👍. Only problem is you sometimes can't eat enough of them.
