Deep wasn't so much the problem as much as how VERTICAL the critters were laying today. Busted the first two clams with my typical 5-10 degree tilt of the tube.... sheered the top of the open side of the shells. I think the east wind must've been blowing their tops on a westward kilter.

Adjusted for a decidedly more vertical trajectory and VOILA! Perfect cores and NO MORE busted clams.
