Clamming for Pismo Clams

Pismo clams are among the most sought after clams on the West Coast. These clams are large and delicious as table fare. In this video, you’ll see me hunt for these amazing mollusks!

Delicious clamps

[@ryeginliving2664]

Oh yes, very tasty! 😋

[@valerieneal2747]

I just found this video...those clams are absolutely beautiful. If you do not mind my asking, when is the beginning/ending season for harvesting these clams; and how many are allowed to be harvested in a day? I've never been clamming but I would love to experience it. Looks like you and your wife had a wonderful time, and I hope the two of you had a delicious meal.

[@ryeginliving2664]

Hi Valerie, Clamming season is fall to early spring, generally months that have an “r”. The limit is 10 clams per person.

[@ryeginliving2664]

Yes, we love eating these clams! 😋

[@igbatious]

Awesome! Is there any signs on the surface to indicate a clam, or do you just randomly poke and prod for one?

[@ryeginliving2664]

I’ll scout around until I find one, then work that area. If you find one then more are usually around. I cover rectangular areas rather than poke around randomly.

Looks so much fun. We want to try. Where did you buy the pitch fork. Any specific kind?

[@ryeginliving2664]

It’s a lot of fun 👍🏼. My pitchforks are very old and were passed down to me from my dad. You may be able to find one at garage sales in Pismo Beach. Otherwise, look for one that has thin tines. Good luck!

Great video! What beach was this? we are going this weekend

[@ryeginliving2664]

Thanks Greg. Please email me for more information. [e-mail]

[@sheikhraeikhwan2005]

Sir, just wondering Is there have any machine that able to detect the clam under the sand? a tool like Metal Detector that able to detect clam under the sand maybe ultrasonic sensor that able to penetrate the sand

[@ryeginliving2664]

I am not aware of a machine that can detect clams in the sand.

[@patrickhayes2214]

Here in pismo looking now. I was inspired by your video and was so looking forward to finding a legal one. In the end i only found undersized clams. The locals here tell me that a legal clam hasnt been found here in 35 years. Can you point me in a better direction then where i was trying. Any help is greatly appreciated.

[@ryeginliving2664]

Hi Patrick. Sorry you couldn’t find any legals. Please email me for more information. [e-mail]

[@Silenceplz595]

Awesome video. Where did you buy the clam fork?.

[@ryeginliving2664]

Thanks. The forks were passed down to me from my late father. They're around 60 years old. I know a shop in Pismo Beach that sometimes finds clamming forks at garage sales then turns around and sells them.

[@YunaAlex]

I like clams ☺️☺️

[@ryeginliving2664]

We love clams too!

[@tortasmarymar1222]

Suerteee

[@frankchen1237]

Hi, is there any signs to find bigger one? I just can find lots of small one on the beach.

[@ryeginliving2664]

I don't know of a way to find bigger ones. A shop owner I talked to in Pismo Beach told me he dives to deeper water to find larger clams.

That was a nice haul! Do you need a license?

[@ryeginliving2664]

Thanks! Yes, a California fishing license is required

[@StriperScott]

@@ryeginliving2664 really enjoy your vids. I live in maine and love to clam. Similar technique.

[@ryeginliving2664]

@@StriperScott what kind do you catch?

[@StriperScott]

@@ryeginliving2664 If you ever visit maine, Pine Point allows everyone to dig, no license. The type I use for chowder and for bait are called surf clams aka hen clams. There’s a few beaches in Maine that let yo dig 3 bushels a day without a license, you just need to check for red tide or pollution closures. 3 bushels is the equivalent of five 5 gallon buckets. It’s so much fun! Do you fish?

[@ryeginliving2664]

@@StriperScott Good to know. Thanks 👍🏼
