For those of you that are thinking about coming up the coast April 1st and jumping in the water to get an Abalone....think again. The waves are huge and lined up and coming in one after another. I did buy my Abalone Report Card...and now I wonder why. Call someone on the coast for an update if you can...or find the swell report online.
