Pumping, digging and laughing at Tomales Bay

the pvc tube prevents the sand caving into the hole...makes digging a lot easier.

Sonny, you are a photo-genius. What a great group we had. Fishinmike was there too. Where are you Mikey? Dave we had a gas. Come down next time.

Looks like a great time. Bummed I missed this one. There was a lot of new info for me to learn.

Awesome!
I did a ride up along the coast today, can couldn't decide whether i was lucky for getting to ride in such beautiful conditions, or whether i would have been luckier to go fishing....

Looks like a great time!

Yeah, I wanted to but I had to work.   Next time

What a fine day, and thanks to you guys who showed us how to find the clams. We made a pot of manhattan clam chowder when we got home. Here's a picture of the quarry:

Gettin dirty and having fun like kids again.....SWEET!
I will never look at another GIFT Shrump in the same way, after seeing what it intails!!  Thanks for sharing your fun times and does anyone have a good pic of the bloodworm...it looks like a skinned testicle in that bucket.
Do they fight or close up when you grab them rascals?
 

That looks like a blast, and tastey too, Im in next time!

Where can I get one of these large PVC pipes used for clam digging?

Wow kayak clamming! That's a new one for me.We used to dig them up for perch bait from the banks at Moss Landing.Those pile/blood worms make great bait!

What a great report! I can feel the love and hear the music...
~~Clam together~~~

Do you guys want to do it again? There is agreat tide on the 24th of May. Low is at 6:30am with a-1.5 that runs up to a high of3.9 at 1pm to another low of2.4at 6pm. Now this would be perfect for an all day event. Clamming in the am and then fishing for halibut on the incoming at the entrance to Tomales bay. Drifting ghost shrimp, smelt anchovies. or trolling. If there is some interest I will post it on hookups. Craig This is for a launch at Lawsons Landing in Marin county. YEt another place the enviros are trying to shut down. Check it out on Save Lawsons Landing website.

I'm down. That is if I'm not too beat from the previous day's festivities at Paradise.

Never been clamming, and still lookin' for my first Tomales (and Bodega Harbor) halibut.
