- After a long, cold, wet and snowy winter that was mostly spent cleaning up all the storm damage around my house, I was able to get out to the coast for the last razor clam dig of the winter season. It was a day of bright, sunny skies and temps hovering around 60 degrees, which was quite a change from the storms that have pounded the coast (30 - 50 mph winds) for the last 3 months.
I plan on going, first time, this week, Feb 2024. Thanks for sharing, didn't know where to go.
Glad you found this video helpful. Just make sure to check the WDFW website to make sure that the beach you choose to go to is open that day. Happy clamming!
What area do you guys go to when clamming in Long Beach? So far I have only been to the beach entrance on 12th st.
I once asked a friends mom, who lives on the Long Beach Peninsula, where the best clamming over there was, and she said that on the beach just south of the wildlife/bird preserve up at the north end of the peninsula. I can't verify that cuz I've never done any clamming anywhere along Long Beach. When I do go to a new beach I usually start where the crowds are and then work out from there, making sure to take note of landmarks when I do find a "honey hole" that is loaded with clams. Also, make sure you always take note of where the beach accesses are in case you need to make a fast getaway because of weather or tidal conditions.
Bought a similar clam gun from a gentleman at the Green Lantern. Clams are abundant and delicious. Thanks for the video.
It's probably the same guy (Dave is his name) we bought ours from. He parks right there by the river and sells them out of the back of his truck. He even offered to make Joey a shorter gun (she's barely 5 ' tall) at no extra charge. They don't go into the sand as easy as the round ones, but because of their oblong shape, we don't break as many clams as we used to. Thanks for watching!
We were there on the same beach that day. Beautiful day!
Yes, it was an amazing day for so early in the year. Glad you were able to get out there and enjoy it!
