  • Have you ever wanted to make your own clam chowder from clams you have harvested from the ocean? Learn how to locate, spot, and harvest these amazing shellfish.
    Don't forget to bring a float, since these things get really heavy!!

    Andrew, we have been freediving for these for years. This is a very good and thorough video! Thanks for sharing!

    Great work Andrew. Was looking for just this video about a year ago, surprising how little there is out there on Pismo diving. Especially compared to all the videos on harvesting them in tidal zones.

    • @aharmer1
      @aharmer1  10 років тому

      Thanks. I ran into the same stumbling block. The videos I could find did not really show me how to do it, specifically what do you look for. I figured I could make a video of how to, when Mantis Spearfishing offered to teach me how to.

    • @psk2005
      @psk2005 10 років тому

      Andrew Harmer Ditto. Lots on diving, minimal on what to look for. I'm going to have twist "Mantis Spearfishing's" arm for some 1 on 1 tutorial come lobster season.

    • @aharmer1

      Grant Neckermann He has lobster pretty dialed in.

    Thanks for sharing. I see huge shells in Morro Bay so I know they are around and the otters are finding them,

    • @aharmer1
      @aharmer1  10 років тому

      They also dig up many of our geoducks too. I see huge pits underwater where otters have dug down 4 feet into the substrate for those things.

    Good info. I just used the last bit of pismos in my freezer last week on chowder. I need to find a good bed up north.

    • @aharmer1
      @aharmer1  10 років тому

      Are you coming down this way for bugs at all?

    • @standish92k
      @standish92k 10 років тому

      Andrew Harmer I will make it down, that is for sure. Not definite on the date yet. I'll update you on the situation soon.

    How the h3ll does one spear or gaff a clam?

  • @myricegirl
    @myricegirl 2 роки тому

    let me guess, the clam spot is off Malibu or Ventura?

    • @aharmer1
      @aharmer1  2 роки тому

      This was not filmed off either of those spots.

  • @PY3000
    @PY3000 10 років тому

    Nice. Doesn't sound like you. I probably got some of those in 1971. And for a few years after that....up to @ 1976.

    • @aharmer1
      @aharmer1  10 років тому

      They probably did not get yours in the 1971 count. I would imagine they were just counting people clamming on the beach at Pismo, not diving.

  • @TheInkPitOx
    @TheInkPitOx 5 років тому

    Don't they have to import clams now due to near-extinction from overharvesting?

    See any sharks halibut or White Sea bass over there

    • @aharmer1
      @aharmer1  10 років тому

      No, not much of anything other than the clams. The vis was pretty nice, so after we dropped the clams off at the car we grabbed guns and scoured the sand for several hours. No fish seen, that I wanted to shoot.

    • @XxxbasseradayxxX
      @XxxbasseradayxxX 10 років тому

      what kind of little fish did you see

    • @aharmer1
      @aharmer1  10 років тому

      Some sanddabs, smelt, lizardfish, and some baby rockfish.

    • @XxxbasseradayxxX

    • @aharmer1
      @aharmer1  10 років тому

      I have caught big halibut on live lizards, so they have grown on me.

    Next up, how to identify rockfish species?

    • @aharmer1
      @aharmer1  10 років тому

      I am working on that very project. I have some great footage, but still need to "land" a few more species.
