Thank you for not answering the question regarding which bay this is. I know there are plenty of clams for everyone, but it’s best to let people just figure it out. Another great job, Jesse!

Thank you for the helpful video. Always gone for razors my whole life, so great to see how to dig for other clams. BTW, really cool tattoo at 1:35!!

Which bay is this?

[@weretrippin4988]

When razor clamming is prohibited but small neck is not, how do you make sure you’re not digging up razors? I know razers dig quickly… is that the difference?

According to the map on the ODFW website, certain clams are found in certain areas. Also the razor clam show is circular and the soft shell clam is more oval. Also razor clams are about 1-2 ft down. Cockles, little necks etc are not as deep in the sand as razor clams.
