I would say that you are lucky if you only got a toung lashing.

I think you were breaking the law by having to many in the sack and digging for someone else.

I also think that most of us have done digging for some of our group if it was needed.

But, carry them out in your own container.

100,000 people digging and only a handfull enforcement officers to keep it under control has to gotta be tough on the population of the Clams if everybody came off the beach with 70 Clams in the sack. I am sure that many poachers have been on the Clam beds lately.

A quote from the WDFG website for you.

"Under WDFW rules, harvesters may take no more than 15 razor clams and must keep the first 15 taken, regardless of size or condition. Each digger=s limit must be kept in a separate container. Diggers must have a valid 2003-04 license to participate."

Boy, I wish I was out there digging a few for dinner, probably the best chow there is.
