Towing from the top crazy dangerous.. Here they flipped boats that way.. Pull wire back to a block in boat.. We had A frame rigging and we would haul wire back to a block chained to the winch and towed low..
I fished bay scallops in the early 70's in Lewis Bay. I didn't know they were in Cape Cod Bay. My dad had a sea scallop boat in Cape Cod Bay back in the 60's. Brother Bill lobsters Cape Cod Bay now
Could do with changing the rings in that dredge with some so the minimum size scallop will just about go through the ring. You would then filter most of that cultch, be able to tow longer and be catching more scallops. win, win, oh and buy some grease for that block haha. good fishing to you.
What the heck is in that pile? I've never dumped a bag of deck and seen anything like that. I mean, I haven't done any bay scalloping or fished with a small dredge like that but still. Even when I did the 600lbs per day scalloping on small boats (mostly converted gill netters and lobster boats) the pile never looked like *that.* We'd get monk fish, some rocks but it was mostly scallops. Not a big black lump, lol! Always interesting to see the different types of scallop fishing around the world from New Bedford, to Nova Scotia, Ireland/the UK, to Australia and Japan. Stay safe and thanks for posting.
Well a surprise I thought all the commercial guys had a smoke in there mouth and had Aerosmith tunes blasting are you gonna convert you boat over to a dredge when the lobsters are slow. Some reason I thought sea scallops were much bigger
While I expected to absolutely hate this video, I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. Not an by-catch that I could see and no coral destroyed. Not sure where you guy were dredging but seemed like mostly a rocky or stony bottom. Was the harvest good? I hope so because our commercial fisherman need help (but not at the ruination of the environment or species). Farm raise clams and oysters are good, but scallops? That’s another question, not sure it’s possible, if it is sure thing the Japanese will figure it out.
Cool new adventure for the Sunday Morning Fisherman!
Good to be on the water! As always thanks for watching Alfredo.
Nice haul David! I’ve never seen how these were caught and processed before. Thanks brother!
Thanks for watching Doug. It was a lot of fun but hard work, tasted great for dinner

Thanks for sharing.. Looks like you have more trash than meat.. Very time consuming and hard work.. Watching and Supporting with Full View Like 12..
We dredge up whatever is on the bottom. I was surprised we had so little garbage and the payoff was worth it, Thanks for watching Allen.
So cool!!!! Save some for me!

These are Bay Scallops, smaller then seas, in my opinion a lot sweeter, eat then raw its like candy. Thanks for watching Fishy!
@@davidAblake1 ok i seen the big boat and thought it was at sea

No coral to speak of in Cape Cod bay, the harvest was very good that day. I appreciate the comment.
Is Cape Cod Bay also known as the Big Bay? Confused Midwest person here.
Not that I have ever heard, Its Cape Cod Bay. Thanks so much for watching.
No
We're abouts is this?
Cape Cod Bay, MA. USA
😂
How many pounds of meat
I can not give you an answer to that. They are shucked further down the chain.
@@davidAblake1 I live in newbedford Massachusetts one of the biggest fishing ports in America. I know the scallops are shucked at sea here
