GoPro underwater footage catching queen scallops and scallops.

Towing my dreg along the bottom to catch queens and the odd scallop.

R.I.P. Patrick.

[@george-1961]

The damage done to the sea bed and the mortality rate of non scallops caught is not worth us eating them. I lost count how many star fish were caught in that dredged net .

[@spencermarchant9098]

Look at the sea bed before. Just silt, when the silt settles it’ll be the same

Awesome video I’ve worked on a few dredges myself

[@davisredmond1648]

Wow, so good for the environment. You must feel so good about yourself. :)

WHAT DO YOU KNOW

[@davisredmond1648]

that bottom trawling decreases biodiversity and kills sessile organisms

[@rogerroger7734]

Davis Redmond actually it is proven that it regenerates bottom and promotes growth and produces feed for micro organisms. If you take a 2' sample in a tube off the bottom of the ocean and study it, there will be black soil (dead soil, no oxygen). If you take the same sample off a Dragging bottom there will be no black soil. Yes I was a part of this research. Dragging is very good for the bottom.

[@davisredmond1648]

What about the countless studies that have been done that show that biodiversity is decreased in bottom trawled areas? Or how about the ones that show that communities shift from sessile, suspension feeding organisms to mobile, scavenging species after trawling? I've done plenty of research on this topic, but I would love to read your study.

[@gvmout]

Davis Redmond paid for the outcome they wanted

[@sluiceboyprospecting]

Awesome! 😃

Those poor crabs were like "WTF!!!!"

[@seapro2761]

good

[@andrewflaws8697]

Iv been at commercial fishing all my life and so have my ancestors coming from Shetland. I had a near identical queen dressed on my old boat 28ft 46hp but want to try a smaller version on my new Shetland 535 with75hp outboard but no winch so would it be viable lifting by hand or any ideas? Thought about acgurdy thru avblockv?

[@stephenberry156]

Very good set up. How much horsepower to pull it, and at what speed.

[@stewartsudd]

Stephen Berry it’s only 10hp (inboard diesel) and only 1-2 knts any more is really too fast for queens with this setup.

[@OutdoorMore1]

rip underwater critters

[@DannyManny98]

Yay! 😁

[@antonioespinoza9593]

No way this legal ?? Hope you guys louse the license

[@MrToriskogen]

nice..

Dragging the bottom of the sea

[@JasonR2023]

you need a cutting edge. round pipe isn't efficient

[@seinnajune348]

is this legal? v.v

[@quercus22]

Depending on where this is taking place.

[@johnkidd797]

I think you can do this with a limited sized dredge to catch a limited amount for personal consumption in New Zealand. It's totally illegal in the Scottish Highlands. That's the limited knowledge on the matter 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@kiwilala2037]

At least it's a small net. Still seems like there's a better way to catch them. 🤔 Didn't even show us what he got thumbs down.

[@flannelflax8078]

Name a better way to catch them then...

[@The-Real-Ando]

@@flannelflax8078 dive for them

[@spencermarchant9098]

@@The-Real-Ando yeah that’s really not do able when the sea is a few degrees above freezing. Plus you can’t get enough commercially like that

[@adzgaming5324]

@@spencermarchant9098 I dive for them 5 degrees celsius. Not saying that it's the most efficient way but gets the job done.

[@MrToriskogen]

how deep? how much speed are you dregging with?

[@stewartsudd]

Hi, approximately 15-20 ftm or 30-40mtrs at between 1 & 2 knots.

[@Whackspking]

this seems like cheating....

[@saveamerica423]

No, it's called fishing (bottom dredging) and it is 100% legal. You got another way?

[@ericholm2814]

Hmm. Not the most elegant approach...

[@MrSwatsteven]

Bottom dredging like that is horrible and destroys the habitat for scallops and other fish

[@angelinawang7927]

poor starfish. or whatever that star like thing is called in english.

[@angelinawang7927]

no wait a sec was that an octopus or something

[@rogerroger7734]

All I know is what the biologist and us have discovered from the marine institute here where I live. We do bottom cultured mussels and coahogs, after studying bottom that we have cultivated ourselves we found that it is healthy for the bottom, promotes oxygen, feed and sustainability.

[@windowsvistasuxalot]

Wow, I'm trying to learn and this is first video that comes up on KZbin. So get this cage...saw 3 on Craigslist and drag across bottom on scallops area. Seems illegal but reading comments guess it's okay.

[@JulieWallis1963]

Oh no! Dredging, it’s just *nasty* shame on you all.
