Thanks for sharing that, and I totally get where you’re coming from about green crabs being more of a bait choice! I actually focused on them in this video because they’re a pretty aggressive invasive species here. These little guys are causing a lot of trouble for native crabs and other marine life, so even though they’re not exactly a delicacy compared to blue crabs, removing them helps the local ecosystem. I wanted to show folks how serious their invasion has become around here and why efforts to control their population are picking up. Appreciate your perspective, though, and glad to hear they’re working well for you as bait!

yea, they are bad here at some points , i need to find a way to make use of them

@LostCoastLiving I found a channel that had a delicious crab bisque recipe with the green crab. It came out delicious 😋

@mitruta5329 just a dehydrator. 🙂 cheap one off Amazon

@@rmunny5390 yes 🙂

i am in northern California, i also use them for cabazon bait but im trying to find other uses for them that do not include just getting lucky and finding a soft shell one :)

The full video is linked on the short video, or you can go to my profile and see it :) thanks for letting me know .

Hey, I really appreciate your concern, and trust me, I grapple with this issue quite a bit myself. Here’s how I think about it: Public Knowledge: The spot I featured is well-known and commonly used for dive training. Several local diving schools and classes utilize this location to safely teach newcomers from all over. It's not a secret spot by any means. though trust me i do keep the locals spots under wraps. i have alot of footage where it would be impossible for other to know where i am , unless they are local lol Educational Value: Part of my goal is to educate about responsible and safe diving practices. By showcasing accessible locations, I hope to encourage viewers to dive responsibly, aware of their surroundings and the impact they have on marine ecosystems. Community Building: I believe in fostering a community that supports outdoor activities while respecting nature. Sharing these locations can help build a community of informed and conscientious enthusiasts who look out for and protect these areas. I’m committed to promoting sustainability and responsible enjoyment of these beautiful spots. If you have any suggestions on how I can better balance showcasing these locations while preserving them, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks for taking the time to respond and glad that you've put some thought into it. We're so fortunate to live on the North Coast. Grats on your first speared fish.

At this time i do not do any official guiding , but if you are in my area i would be more than happy to bring you fishing and show you what i know .

Using jellyfish like blue snailers as a substitute fertilizer in your garden is an interesting idea! Jellyfish are mostly composed of water, but they also contain organic matter and nutrients that could potentially benefit your garden soil. Here’s a quick breakdown of what to consider: ### Pros: 1. **Nutrient-Rich**: Jellyfish contain nitrogen, potassium, and other trace minerals that are beneficial for plants. 2. **Organic Matter**: Adding them to compost could enhance the organic matter in your soil. 3. **Natural Mulch**: They could be used as a mulch layer to help retain soil moisture. ### Cons: 1. **Decomposition**: Jellyfish decompose quickly and can produce a strong odor, which might not be pleasant. 2. **Salt Content**: If the jellyfish come from the ocean, they might have high salt content, which could be harmful to your plants if not properly washed or processed. 3. **Pests and Diseases**: There’s a risk they could attract pests or harbor diseases. ### How to Use Them: 1. **Composting**: Add jellyfish to your compost pile, mixing them well with other compost materials to balance the moisture and reduce odor. 2. **Fermentation**: Some gardeners use a fermentation process (like making fish emulsion) to break down marine materials before applying them to the soil. 3. **Direct Application**: If you want to use them directly, make sure to rinse them well to remove excess salt, chop them into smaller pieces, and mix them into the soil. ### Tips: - **Moderation**: Start with a small amount and observe how your plants respond. - **Mixing**: Combine with other compost materials to ensure a balanced nutrient profile. - **Safety**: Wear gloves and handle with care to avoid any reactions. It’s definitely a unique and eco-friendly idea, just be cautious about the salt content and potential odors. Give it a try and see how your garden responds!

Thank you !!

they are just all along the coast of fort bragg, if you ever want to go with us shoot me an email its under the "about"section of my profile.

Thanks man , i appreciate that ! :)

lol right! its all i could find but its hard core 🤘

You know to be honest i dont know , soon i will do some research on where to clam around my area and make a video about it , if there is or, if there is not i will have to make a video lol, have you foraged for them before ?

@@LostCoastLiving never but seen it done before using salt

Any time! hopefully see you then !

The secret's out now! Welcome to the amazing world of my channel lol <3

Heck yeah, here's to hoping 🙏

Thanks! I appreciate you!

Very cool! And thx for the tip 🤙🏼

ive done this with the soft shell ones but never the hard shell, but are you suggesting it works the same with the hard shell? if so i can defiantly give it a try :)

@LostCoastLiving, I've read that they are optimal for deep frying when freshly molted (shell is thinner). There's a lot of strategizing to figure that out, tho. I don't know the specifics but I looked into it, on TH-cam.

Thanks man i appreciate it !

I will pickle mussels soon great idea!!

You are absolutely right about that I will definitely start mentioning that , thank you 🙂

Lol, that's a first for me 😄

@crabbingclammingboatcampin4962 absolutely ! you said it better than kevin and i ! :)

@crabbingclammingboatcampin4962im glad you enjoyed it, salt point eh? that should be fun , let us know how it goes :D

i loved them !!

No.

Most of these are Cantharellus californicus The color does slightly change with how wet the Mushroom is or how old the Mushroom is definitely be a 100% sure before eating any mushrooms 😃😄

You definitely could if you would like to. It would always be a good idea, especially if there are high numbers of toxins in your area.

Thanks , i wish the audio was better but it did the job lol.

i live in California, but no worries the tips to finding chanterelles are more or less the same, the timing will change though i would have to do some research for you but i have no doubt you can find some ! happy hunting! :D

@@LostCoastLiving Thanks!! I'm sure we have some up here, I've just never taken the time to look! 😋 I'm definitely looking this year though!!

@@KristenDilligaf exciting!!!

@KristenDilligaf It looks like the best time to go mushroom hunting in Idaho for chanterelles is in the Spring and fall Especially after a good rain, make sure to find well draining Soil, usually on a Hillside, and if there's a lot of moss around that's a good Sign . Make sure you're near conifers or older growth trees because chanterelle are micorizal and work alongside tree systems to get their nutrients. Here in California I find chantrelles near oak but your area may be different, exciting!

Come on down and catch some :) you may use them however you want :P

they are tiny and not worth eating unless they are caught after the molt phase, then they're soft and can be eaten whole deep fried. Other than that, they are too much work for little meat.

Huh? Lol

@@LostCoastLiving silence fey. That phone does not belong to you. You can’t fool me.

What to who? for how many cookies ? :P

🍄

Dang your right , i will have to do that next time thanks for the suggestion.

Thats correct :D

Yeah , we break for mushrooms 🍄 😆

😆😁

Wewt!!

Lol, I love hearing that. Thanks, lol 😆
