Clamming in HMB

Been clamming at the mouth of of Bodega Bay for a few years now.  Gotten plenty of horsenecks and the occasional geoduck.  Recently moved to HMB area and was wondering how the clamming is in the area.  Not looking for someones honey hole, but some information on common, well-known spots might be helpful to start.
Thanks!

I've seen people clamming inside the harbor by the left jetty during low tide. Not sure if they were successful!

great soundtrack.  If you enjoyed it, consider seeking out one of kirk's classes

I've seen people successfully clamming inside the harbor on the North Side of the jetty.

I wouldn't advise eating any of those though since I here that it is pretty polluted in there.

Agree. They've been well marinated inside the harbor.

Yep, marinated good ol' motor oil. 

I think it has more a diesel flavor to me 

We popped and ate oysters off rocks in Oceanside harbor I think it was. Lobster trip, got there in the afternoon to a minus tide. Grilled up tons of oysters and waited for tide to roll in with darkness. Prob how I got cancer...

Just like fine wine, motor oil marinated clam gets better with age 

I'm getting hungry. Just thinking bout it... too lazy to clam. Nothing like eating fish with fish sauce, I love that stuff.
