Well with school coming up and the abalone season closing for a month we decided to hit up Fort Bragg for some abalone and hopefully some lingcod. We made the 10 hour drive to the Motel 6 which was a bad choice. They had a massive party and we didn't get any rest. However we did find a nice bnb for almost the same price in the redwoods for the following nights. The first day we dove Glass Beach where I got a limit of abalone, an octopus, sea urchin and a nice cabezon. We then hit up Caspar cove and my buddy got a cabezon and a ton of uni. I then tried Albion and almost dove Van Damme but decided it was to crowded despite the crystal clear waters. The last day I decided to hit up glass beach again as the viz was really nice but that changed quickly when I was out. We ate abalone like crazy while we where out and the viz ranged from 3 to 15 feet. I cant wait to go back out again and enjoy the fresh abs. Oddly enough on the first dive out at Glass Beach my lady met Trace and his wife and we all started talking diving and then realized we where both members here on Speardiver. So lets go diving soon. 
We then did the mandatory pier 39 and golden gate bridge pictures on the 10 hour drive back home. It was a great trip and now we know where to stay.
