Thank you for posting this video. This reminded me of the time I took my kids to get geoduck many years ago. We drove for hours and missed the tide. We were determined and tried again another day. It was a very expensive activity. We bought a pump tube, boots and tickets for the barge to take us out to the mud flats near Tomales Bay. We broke our backs, skunked. No clams in the area either. Muddy mess everywhere and on us. Gave away our equipment soon after our adventure. But rewarded with a lifetime of happy funny memories like looking up from the mud and panicking, seeing my 2 year old’s boots stuck where I told him to wait but he had slipped out of them and taken off, running happily in the muddy sand.

Nice brotha! We’ve been there before and got some piddock clams as well. The tide wasn’t in our favor last time so we didn’t get any geoducks but we got lots of horseneck clams. Happy foraging bro.

Great video and story, congrats! Awesome geoduck gun/pipe! I would like to make or buy 2 geoduck pipes for a family trip to Hood Canal. You mentioned in the video that it was a special cut and delivery. I can see on the side written that is a Kroy Industry PVC heat/air duck 12" pipe. Where I could locally order a special 3 foot cut? Also, your expert opinion, should I go with 12" or even larger 16" diameter Kroy pipe? How much did it cost ? Thank you and regards

I would recommend 16" diameter which is what my friend has, I think you need to order online, i am still trying to figure out myself, lol

the nose part is good for sushi raw, the body is good for sliced thin deep fried or make a chowder

@@bebe0928 in your opinion, will a 2.7 tide work for bay clams at happy camp beach?

Don't touch the upper nose because the clam will going down deeper its hard to dig out

@osufwiffo 2 жыл бұрын

Nah, they can't dig. They're basically immobile once adults. In fact there's Washington wildlife rules about digging and replacing

Is there a reason folks don’t tell the exact location ? South Puget sound is pretty big place

We all know exactly where that is. That downed tree gives it away

They’re on Harstine Island at a state park that is about a mile or two north or McMicken Island

Is there a season? any legal limits (time of year, size...)? do you need a license?

@veemuk1509 Жыл бұрын

Best time for digging them is minus/low tides of -2.0 or more. Usually happens in Summer during daylight. Limit is first 3 geoduck you dig up. You will need a shellfish license. There are some good negative tides last day of July and beginning of August.

You can get a license at any sporting goods store like big5, sportsman's warehouse, even Walmart. There are some good negative tides last day of July and beginning of August.
