Hello!!!<br /> Hints: Keep your a$$ up to the sky and your head towards the sand!!!! <br />I've done my share of claming,use to buy a commercial license when clamiing was really good!!! Now i just buy a mess digging permit for $25.00 If you are going for steamers ya need a clam fork,hen claming a pitch fork type tool!!! <br />Dig where ya see allot of holes, not just a couple!!! Be careful not to break the clams !! you'll get use to it!!!<br /><br />How's the bow hunting going???<br /><br />To get the sand out, buy an aquarium air pump 10 bucks or so and purge the clams in salt water over nite to remove the sand!!!<br /><br />Good luck!!!
I don't know how good the digging is up your way, but you should be able to dig a good 10-12 lbs. which actually is a small amount in a tide. For instance, on a new flat that hasn't been worked in a couple of years you can dig 200lbs. in 20 minutes 1st day, 40mins. 2nd day so on until ya dig it clean. On a normal day i dig a good peck about a 1/2 bushell!! Ya wanna get to the flat 1-2hrs. before low tide and work the coming tide!!!
