The digging at Pacific Beach (Mocrocks) was fast and furious on Sunday. Weather was excellent, unseasonably calm with almost no wind! They were showing in such numbers that we couldn't possibly dig everything we saw... and most were showing without any provocation with the shovel, gun, or stomping around. We took ten limits before sunset, and with selective digging over the most promising "shows" the vast majority were in the 6 inch range or better.

Went back to the same spot on Monday, and things were quite a bit tougher. They weren't showing near as well... had to really pound the sand to make 'em show. They were definitely laying a little deeper than the day before... three scoops with the shovel before even thinking about reaching down. Also a lot more dinks than the previous day. We dug past the twilight zone and well into the lantern zone before finally calling it quits. Someone had to go pee real bad... and it wasn't one of the boys. We ended up with 95 clams, about one-third jumbos, one-third mediums, and one-third dinks. I agree with DV... nothing worse than cleaning crushed dinks! But the savory flavor of chowder and fresh- fried clams quickly reminds me that, yeah, its worth it.
