Clamming In North Carolina

[@JoeZelensky]

Digging up those areas like that is actually good for it. It takes away the compact of the sand so plants and clams and such can get a foothold.

Interesting. Im not super educated on impacts of clamming. Though I try to minimize my footprint when disturbing wild areas. But I could see how a loosening of the sand might actually be beneficial to the life that calls it home.

I live in Wendell and go to Morehead City area. So just look for mud flats at low tide?

[@huntergathererfishing1176]

I find them more in sand than mud. Plus it’s hard to walk in mud. Look for sandy areas in the back waters that are underwater at high tide and exposed at low tide. Look for places where there are lots of holes in the sand (that lets you know there’s critters living there. The particular holes you’re looking for look like a comma.

I was just wondering where this was at!

[@huntergathererfishing1176]

I can't burn this spot, people would put a price on my head. Though I have some advice for the North Carolina area coast look for exposed flats in backwaters near inlets. You want muddy/dirty sand. Not mud and not straight sand. More advice, use google maps. That's how I find my spots.

I appreciate this advice, I'm looking to get into clamming/fishing and want to find some good locations

@@huntergathererfishing1176 What do you type into google maps? my son wants to try this.

My daughter and I want to go clamming for the first time soon....thank you for your video, we enjoyed it very much!

[@huntergathererfishing1176]

@bailey jones I’m not digging exactly randomly. I look for holes shaped like commas also little bulges in the sand where the clams are pushing up. The most important thing is finding the right areas. Muddy sand in the backwater areas is a great place to look.

Nice! If you show how to cook them would be nicer :)
