Post Hole Geoduck (Puget Sound, Hood Canal)

#geoduck #dosewallips #hoodcanal I share with you my favorite (and easiest) way to dig a 'duck! My faithful post holer will see me thru!
As always, check DOH's website to make sure any shellfish beach is safe to dig. Filmed Dosewallips State Park, June 2021.

I've never heard of the post hole digger method before but it sure made the job look easy. Glad your camera survived the adventure.

[@WAFishQuest]

Thank you thank you and go Hawks!

[@dustinmceachern4898]

We’re going out in a couple of days. Never done it. Always wanted to do it. Thanks for the tip. Gunna bring my post hole diggers. 🍻

[@vaughnprecision]

Never seen the post hole method before. That looks like an awesome way to get them

[@WAFishQuest]

It's very easy! Like I said though, doesn't work well in out area. On the canal though, it's the only way to go in my opinion!

[@easterdm]

Glad your camera made it through!

[@WAFishQuest]

thanks a ton!

[@millennialfisherman4212]

bro you're a hero

[@WAFishQuest]

Thanks Millennial Hero! You get it! Ha ha.

[@ShanePingStyle]

Good show, we were at the same beach at the day, it will be a lit if we met you and work on dig with you together, my wife hold out a huge one finally, wish to share more fun often with you !

[@WAFishQuest]

congratulations!! glad you got a huge one!! (the one the family dug right by mine was a huge one too).

[@spiltmilt]

Hope the camera survived. That's the worst feeling when stuff like that happens. Been there for sure. Watch out for those curveballs!

[@WAFishQuest]

It did! Just needed to dry out. I was actually running to third and the throw to get me out hit me right in the back of the head. 🎯

[@giohwang309]

Love your video and like the raw footage without the edits, makes it more authentic and real. I’m just getting into this sport with my kids and your channel is so awesome. Question, why are you not using the trenching shovel and instead using the post hole digger? For a newbie, it looks more challenging and inefficient but I’m sure I’m missing something. Thanks

[@Zack-ef6se]

Hope you’re staying cool! It’s brutal out, I live just north of Seattle and I hear it’s even hotter in the south sound. Good luck man!

[@WAFishQuest]

I'm chilling inside, that's for sure! Good luck to you too!

[@RV_Chef_Life]

Glad the camera made it. You’ve come a long way since strapping a camera on a hard hat! Good stuff as always

[@WAFishQuest]

thank you! I still have the hard hat!

[@HobbiesHobo]

When I was a kid I remember enthusiastically digging a couple out by hand. Wouldn't try that today. Still nice to get down to the waters edge. Injury recovery mode here as well, slipped on the boat launch a few days ago and landed on my back. Didn't realize the damage I did until the next day. Good luck on the camera Blake.

[@WAFishQuest]

The camera is fine. I hope you are too! My concussion was sort of the same way. I actually finished the game, then it hit me pretty bad when I got home. I hope you have a speedy recovery!

[@leonardyee8026]

Great Videos Thank you. Curious where could I have a Clam Cylinder built much like yours?

[@WAFishQuest]

Thank you! Shingo and I looked for a year or two. Even called some metal workers. No one seems to specialize in them around here. (I live in the South Sound). Eventually Shingo spotted one on craiglist or offer up. They're very hard to find unfortunately!

[@khanhtuannguyen]

Great video Blake!

[@WAFishQuest]

Thanks a ton Khan!

[@bobsnextadventure]

Man, that's a bummer about the camera, but glad to see it still works! Good to hear the symptoms have gone away!

[@WAFishQuest]

thanks Bob! I'm still wrestling with them, but I'm functional at least!

[@AuSableAngler]

You going back to Dosewallips on July 23rd by chance?

[@WAFishQuest]

Hello! Unlikely. But maybe! One of my best friends' birthdays is July 23 and we're a bunch of manchilds. (He usually likes to hike or play a sport for his bday).

[@wojomojo]

I hope you fully recover from the concussion!

[@WAFishQuest]

Thanks WojoMojo! I'm doing well. I think I'm maybe a week away from full recovery.

[@pyro_angler]

Geoduck or pidock

[@WAFishQuest]

this was geoduck. I do have a lot of pidock around where I live though!

[@ryanharris5125]

Was across the canal from ya on a boat only access beach… great fun, but as I get older am starting to realize this is a young person sport! 🥵 Glad to have the next generation of our family picking up the slack. Beautiful day, tons of fun, followed by a scrumptious geoduck feed! Thanks for all your good work! Really enjoy your video’s!

[@WAFishQuest]

thank you so much Ryan! Glad you got enough for a feast. Regarding it being a young persons' game, the world needs geoduck spotters too!

[@AuSableAngler]

I'll be out there June 15 this year

[@WAFishQuest]

Good luck! I haven't checked tides yet... Been tough out there the last few years.

[@carolynconner2934]
