We arrived an hour before the lowest tide hit -1.42 feet at 3:37 PM December 30, 2009. Negative tide reveals a whole new world to explore at Pillar Point: Massive mussel beds, starfish, sea urchins, sea anemones, abalone, crabs, snails, clams, a variety of seaweed, microcosmic universes, and the most vivid colors. We were just outside of the Marine Park so we also brought our CA fishing licenses in order to legally take some yummy mussels.<\/p>\n

\nThe yellow shading indicates the James V. Fitzgerald State Marine Park. <\/strong><\/p>\n

In the future, new legislation will probably extend the park into where we were exploring. That would make this area a no-take zone, and no mussel collecting.<\/p>\n

\nHere you can see how far you’re able to walk out on negative tide. <\/strong><\/p>\n

So close to the big waves of Mavericks.<\/p>\n

\nMussels Mussels Mussels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We go after a medium size.\u00a0 December they are tasty and safe. Steam them in some coconut milk with some lime, or cook them in a paella. Yum, yum, yum.<\/p>\n

Make sure you check with CA fish and game for up to date regulations. You do need a current CA fishing license, never harvest between May 1 and October 31, and never harvest in a protected area.<\/p>\n

\nCan you spot the Abalone?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAbalone<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abalone are delicious. You can buy farmed red abalone in Half Moon Bay harbor, but this wild little guy is off limits. Take of wild abalone South of the Golden Gate Bridge is prohibited. North of the Golden Gate, you can take abalone, but you must have a CA fishing license, and an abalone punch card. Plus all abalone must measure over 7 inches. This little fella is too small even if he did live North. (Diving for Abalone UD post, coming soon.)
