HOW TO CATCH ABALONE
Intructions:
1. Must be used at high tide only.
2. Fisherman must stand behind large rock
(Abalone have excellent eyesight)
3. Ghost shrimp are recommended as bait.
4. Use abalone call three times.
(Softly, as their hearing is acute)
5. Use 50 lb. leader because abalone strike hard and the
first run is strong.
6. When landing use large net with small mesh.
7. After landing, strike abalone between eyes with
a hammer because they have been known to bite.
8. Above instructions obtained from section 1040-A of
the California Gish and Fame Manual.
