Razor Clamming













Today I went after razor clams. You can either dig them out with a shovel, or use what's called a clam gun, which I am using in the video. It's a lot of strain on your back, and they are very thin shelled, so it's easy to damage the clam. The campground owners (Bob and Brenda) took a group of us out this morning to teach us some tricks. Then we came back to the campground and they showed us how to clean them. The limit is 60 per day, but I think I got about 20 before I had enough. You want to go after them at very low tide. For the month of July this is from 7/10 to 7/14. Tomorrow (7/12) should be even better because the tide will be lower than today.
