How to Dig for Clams During Low Tide

[@Michael-fd3wj]

I went with a friend crabbing and I had never clammed before, so at low tide which was as about sunset. We went out and dug in the dark and lost track of the tide. To make a long story short, we swam back to shore in the dark with buckets and shovels in hand and wallets in our teeth. Didn't lose a single clam.

After watching one of your last videos, I took my son south of Pacific city. We got 31 clams. Not bad for our first time. Thanks for being so informative. I do appreciate your channel.

How was the clamming trip??

[@fergk5527]

@@Ellemenopea97 it was fun, very successful and tasted amazing!

[@widgeonslayer]

Im going there in about a month. Hopefully find some time to try to find a few.

[@howzit9397]

Where was this? I wanna go and take my daughter when I visit her in Oregon, we want to experience this and she loves clams so should be a good experience for both of us

[@fergk5527]

@@howzit9397, you can go anywhere on the Oregon coast at low tide. I went to Whalen island state park in between pacific city and sand lake. Just bring 2 hard rakes and 2 sacks that water can drain through. That's the best results for cockles but they do have razors as well. You can either dig or use a gun for those.

[@theevanpyle]

Thanks PK I love to dig for clams back in British Columbia! Cheers

[@CarrieGerenScogginsOfficial]

Thanks for stating to use a skinny shovel, for those of us not wanting to dig out a lot of heavy sand at one time due to a bad back. It's my lower back. I have had colon cancer, and have heard that is par-for-the-course with it. I also blew my lower back out at a shampoo bowl, working in the hair salons while working-on my undergrad. Spent 17 yrs in college, a lot of the time working in salons, and it left me in a lot of lower back pain.... That is adding to the colon cancer. I am really appreciative that you took the time to make this video, as I am not from a coastal area, and want more information on how to dig the clams. Those raised in coastal areas were taught how, and take that for granted.

Hey PK! I love your videos! You got me into surf fishing!

[@robertellis7172]

Like how you explain step by step for the beginner

[@StorageAuctionSnipers]

As always...another great video with tons of tips on clamming. Thanks PK!!

Wow beautiful! Miss the west coast

Went after some cockles this weekend, caught our limit super fast. Had no idea it was that simple and fun. Thanks for the video, definitely making this a new hobby.

Nice digging. Looks like you have more bait 😁

Nice Job Fellas!!!

[@chubbrock659]

Cool vid! Would all of those empty shells have been eaten by otters and seals?

[@oregonlife]

Yes, most likely.

[@davidmcdonald654]

I love digging for clams in the Bay of Fundy here in Nova Scotia. The only downside is when the tide is coming in you need to run as fast as possible with your equipment to avoid the tidal bore.

[@forbiddenfruit.garden4672]

What type of clam? I live on the coast of ct and usually I’m in waist to chest deep digging with a clam rake. Usually they are little necks

[@ricksiewert8035]

Where was this filmed if you don’t mind me asking

[@nyx5743]

Awesome video, I learned a lot, thanks for sharing!

[@michellepeters7541]

Love watching!!! OBTW...the clams you’re digging aren’t soft shell...they’re butter clams or Martha Washington clams. Super good eating!

[@michellepeters7541]

You can dig (36) soft shell clams under the bridge at Gardner just North of Reedsport😘

[@jonathand2226]

Good workout！

[@umersaeed4224]

Do this clams have perls in them 😅

[@redbull660r]

isnt it easier to sift through the sand when there is more water

[@howzit9397]

I would think right? I saw couple videos where they claimed in way under a foot of water by HAND with ease picked up a handful in one location

[@greatplainsman3662]

Nicer neighborhood than Portland.

[@jawsua32]

For those that are wondering, for the butter clams (they are not soft shelled, pk was mistaken) you look for a hole that looks like a flat head screw driver was stuck in the ground.

Netarts Bay, Oregon.

[@dustinnichols7662]

My boy PK, where's your clam gun? I know you own one. Or do you?

[@jaikim4499]

what PK told me is that is depends on the type of ground type ur searching in. we were in very hard tidal beds. clam guns r more for softer sandier areas.

[@MrGreen-sw1ly]

I would use a clam gun first. There might be a lot of dead clam or empty shell around so maybe that's not good for clam gun. But still, there's a lot of area to clam gun it. 6-8 inch of sand is no problem for a clam gun.

[@jawsua32]

@@MrGreen-sw1ly That bay is not good for a clam gun. Clammed there many times.

[@MrGreen-sw1ly]

@@jawsua32 I'll just have to take your word for it since I won't be doing it there anytime soon.

Bro I thought watching Pokémon was fun but this is alot funer

[@Abcd-cb5ty]

That is Butter Clam, not Softshell.

[@terrymcdonald3388]

At 9 to 10 minutes, you had butter clams which are also called Martha Washington clams; they are not soft shell clams. Know your clams because you are allowed 36 softshell clams and only 20 butter clams. I need to make a video of clam digging. The soft shell clams have almost been almost completely wiped out on the central coast of Oregon.

[@pipsweeney]

Can you use the tube method to get clams where you are, or do you have to dig for them? kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4q5goVpndWFjNk

[@oregonlife]

Yup, you can use a clam gun. I just didn't bring it.
