Dug out from the Long beach approach thursday.Worked our butts off for limits of small clams 3 1/2"or so.Went to oysterville and ran up the beach quite a ways Fri. Started out getting really nice big clams.Then they just quit showing.Drove back towards Oysterville a mile or so.Nobody getting clams.Another mile or so started getting them again by chasing the surf.Fibished limiting on more of the reall small ones.

I dont understand why they were running so small after being so long since the last harvest,

A couple other observations.
A lot of sunken commercial crab pots on the beach west of Oysterville.

I couldnt believe the amount of female egg bearing crabs at the Long Beach approach.Looked like a clam show.But would be a crab.I found a lot of them.Plus saw a lot others dug up.It didnt seem to cause them any harm.But just dont know.I hope not. Never seen anything like it.
