The Copalis Beach was lit up pretty good with lotsa lanterns tonight.

fish4brains and I tagged teamed it with one lantern and found some nice ones. A little better grade in the bags than two nights ago, but they sure were laying DEEP, and the sand sure was compacted extra hard. Nearly every clam was found at the far end of each extracted core.

For the non-shovel camp, that makes it all the more critical to aim accurately with your tubes to keep from "shaving" the butt end off your clams. There were a couple in my bag that I wasn't particularly proud of.
