Everybody and his brother was at Long Beach.
Not familiar with any other area that is open.
Go at least an hour before low tide...if now two,as many people were there today 2 hours before.
DON'T CHEAT....The guy next to you may be checking you and the game force was there both days....Keep what you dig. Each person needs their own bucket or onion sack but
you can share the gun. We had ours made,,,somebody in Sherwood is making them and I'll get the info later if you want. You get 15 clams. Put them in sea water and they'll keep so you can clean them the next day. 15 isn't a lot but we ate at a very nice place that had 1 clam for $7.95 so our cache
seemed very valuable....I've also been paid $75 in restitution for my clams that were stolen one time...another story. Be sure to read Bob's clam info but he knows I will never, never, never dip them in hot water to get them out of the shell.
We drove down the Washington side but never again. It is longer. Drive the Oregon side to the Astoria bridge...
