How to Dig for Clams During Low Tide

- The best time for digging clams is during a low tide. This is because the clam beds that were underwater are now exposed as the tide moves out. The tool you need for digging clams are a garden rake, and a narrow shovel.

Thanks PK I love to dig for clams back in British Columbia! Cheers
I went with a friend crabbing and I had never clammed before, so at low tide which was as about sunset. We went out and dug in the dark and lost track of the tide. To make a long story short, we swam back to shore in the dark with buckets and shovels in hand and wallets in our teeth. Didn't lose a single clam.
Lmbo 🤭 Glad ya made it back safely and with a good story/lesson to share!
Shame on you! You are a murder!

Nice Job Fellas!!!
Nice digging. Looks like you have more bait 😁
Perch crack for sure.
Nicer neighborhood than Portland.
Good Afternoon!
Kindly use a DIGGING CLAW for clams. Thanks!
I love clams... I love clammin videos! But you just stole 25 minutes of my life!
I call the empty clams Duds . It rolls easy . TY
We call them fool’s gold!
Netarts?
Show me where do clams live
I heard clams have been over harvested and there will be no clam chowdah soup! Anyone want to chime in on the state of the Chowdah?
I am 8 years old and I caught a big crab
Shame on you! You are a murder!

It’s legal to catch clam
5:35 cue the Jaws theme
This guy's have no idea what they are doing.
Hey PK! I love your videos! You got me into surf fishing!
Cool vid! Would all of those empty shells have been eaten by otters and seals?
Yes, most likely.
Heading out to Selitz bay on Monday! Hopefully I get lucky!
Bait??? I’d be eating them....
You can dig (36) soft shell clams under the bridge at Gardner just North of Reedsport😘
Like how you explain step by step for the beginner
What type of clam? I live on the coast of ct and usually I’m in waist to chest deep digging with a clam rake. Usually they are little necks
He has never GONE clamming before -- not WENT -- get educated fellow.
After watching one of your last videos, I took my son south of Pacific city.
We got 31 clams. Not bad for our first time. Thanks for being so informative. I do appreciate your channel.
How was the clamming trip??
@@Ellemenopea97 it was fun, very successful and tasted amazing!
Im going there in about a month. Hopefully find some time to try to find a few.
Where was this? I wanna go and take my daughter when I visit her in Oregon, we want to experience this and she loves clams so should be a good experience for both of us
@@howzit9397, you can go anywhere on the Oregon coast at low tide.
I went to Whalen island state park in between pacific city and sand lake.
Just bring 2 hard rakes and 2 sacks that water can drain through.
That's the best results for cockles but they do have razors as well. You can either dig or use a gun for those.
Your video are awesome love them
Good workout！
As always...another great video with tons of tips on clamming. Thanks PK!!
Super jealous, looks beautiful out there today.
Love watching!!! OBTW...the clams you’re digging aren’t soft shell...they’re butter clams or Martha Washington clams. Super good eating!
Wow beautiful! Miss the west coast
This is a video on how not to go clamming commercial clamers would laugh at you
That is Butter Clam, not Softshell.
isnt it easier to sift through the sand when there is more water
I would think right? I saw couple videos where they claimed in way under a foot of water by HAND with ease picked up a handful in one location
For those that are wondering, for the butter clams (they are not soft shelled, pk was mistaken) you look for a hole that looks like a flat head screw driver was stuck in the ground.
I love digging for clams in the Bay of Fundy here in Nova Scotia. The only downside is when the tide is coming in you need to run as fast as possible with your equipment to avoid the tidal bore.
At 9 to 10 minutes, you had butter clams which are also called Martha Washington clams; they are not soft shell clams. Know your clams because you are allowed 36 softshell clams and only 20 butter clams. I need to make a video of clam digging. The soft shell clams have almost been almost completely wiped out on the central coast of Oregon.
9:35 butter clams not softshell
Can you use the tube method to get clams where you are, or do you have to dig for them? th-cam.com/video/iYVQR3hpRVw/w-d-xo.html
Yup, you can use a clam gun. I just didn't bring it.
@@oregonlife either way, great video. Keep them coming PK!!
Went after some cockles this weekend, caught our limit super fast. Had no idea it was that simple and fun. Thanks for the video, definitely making this a new hobby.
Do you need a license?
Where did you go me and my husband live in gleneden beach and are new here but we keep getting little baby classified where can we find the one like in this video
My boy PK, where's your clam gun? I know you own one. Or do you?
what PK told me is that is depends on the type of ground type ur searching in. we were in very hard tidal beds. clam guns r more for softer sandier areas.
I would use a clam gun first. There might be a lot of dead clam or empty shell around so maybe that's not good for clam gun. But still, there's a lot of area to clam gun it. 6-8 inch of sand is no problem for a clam gun.
@@MrGreen-sw1ly That bay is not good for a clam gun. Clammed there many times.
@@jawsua32 I'll just have to take your word for it since I won't be doing it there anytime soon.
@@jaikim4499 Hey, Jai! It was great to meet you this morning! Thanks for the advice and I'll be looking into the clubs you talked about - sounds like fun and hope to catch up soon for a catch n cook, PK n Jai style! 😎🤤

Awesome video, I learned a lot, thanks for sharing!
Do this clams have perls in them 😅
Michael you are real lucky you made it
I don't think this is by me.
Just makin tv 😂😂
Hi there. What is this place/city?
Netarts Bay, Oregon.
Where is this?
Jamaica, mon, right near the beach.
Thanks for stating to use a skinny shovel, for those of us not wanting to dig out a lot of heavy sand at one time due to a bad back. It's my lower back. I have had colon cancer, and have heard that is par-for-the-course with it. I also blew my lower back out at a shampoo bowl, working in the hair salons while working-on my undergrad. Spent 17 yrs in college, a lot of the time working in salons, and it left me in a lot of lower back pain.... That is adding to the colon cancer. I am really appreciative that you took the time to make this video, as I am not from a coastal area, and want more information on how to dig the clams. Those raised in coastal areas were taught how, and take that for granted.
How do you make a good clam chowder
Thanks for the false clam identification PK because those are butter clam that you got.
Oregon used to be fun and safe. Now it's terrible in the cities because of Aunt Tifa.
