So, I wasn't planning on cooking the Prime Rib on Saturday and wanted to fish on Sunday, but that didn't look like it was going to happen so I checked out the tides. Yikes! Huge minus tides!
Plan B was quickly set up to do some clamming while the Sous Vide was doing its thing. I got down to an empty beach! It was cold and windy, but not a sole.
I started my search and for the next 30 minutes only found 1 legal and a few babies that I reburied.
Look at that cute little guy!
Then people saw what i was doing and all piled around me looking and plucking one up here and there. Totally No licenses and felt like they had to follow me around which was totally annoying.
As I was looking, I found the motherlode and within 15 minutes found the rest to fill my limit of nice clams. I got a few striped ones which was pretty cool and weird looking!
I also dug up a spiny mole crab and he pinched me pretty good. Ouch!
I was pretty stoked to get my clam limits and back home in time to get the Prime Rib ready and finished up. 3 days of purging the clams with fresh seawater, and I'll be ready to shuck them up and prepare a few clam meals.
I love different types of fishing (or harvesting) that I don't do too often, and I only get out clamming once or twice a year so it was pretty exciting.
Thanks for reading and Happy New Year! Lets get some sharks on the new 2022 board that I'll have to get all set up. hahahaha.
