very entertaining

i just watched all of Kirk's videos on vimeo.  very entertaining.  wish he'd do more!

I ran accross his blog when researching herring runs in Crescent City.  I had seen his video before though.  Anyways, I recently reposted his video on Facebook when he was poke poling from a kayak.  I had wondered if anyone had tried it yet.

Razor clam regs is 20 per person.  First 20 you dig broken or whole.

I have been digging razors the last two days at Clam beach.  The wind and rain was brutal thursday and I gott skunked after an hour of trying during a mediocre tide.  Today I managed 4.  The wind was strong, the waves were big, and there was a hundred people or more today.  The sun must have brought em out.  I have only been razor clamming a few times so Im still learning.  Broken or not they taste great and are easy to clean.  I also went to the North Jetty and caught the incoming near the Coast Guard station and dug a horseneck and a washington.  I panko fried the clams and ate them as an appetizer earlier.  Wednesday while walking the dogs I found a huge cockle that is close to 4".

I've had the pleasure to meet Kirk at HMB (and Oyster Point) several times - he's quite a character and really knows his stuff 

Dont remember when it was last year, but there was an inflight magazine article on him on one of the major airlines. The lady next to me, i overheard her mumbling to herself as she read it too, " He's definitely naught from new yawrk" 

Time for Kirk to teach Survivor man a few intertidal lessons.

Anyways, I recently reposted his video on Facebook when he was poke poling from a kayak.  I had wondered if anyone had tried it yet.

After watching Kirk and Mike get beat up while pokepoling I said screw this and started the side saddle technique. It took them weeks to accept this superior method, during which time i was belittled for being a softie. A coupla near broken bones and lost eels later and what do you know. Its now the go to way of getting things.
