Hey, nice clams!

I have a question. What beach landing is best on copalis? I've always dug at Roosevelt and grayland. But obviously that's not possible. Would like to drive on the beach. Thanks.

We used the public entry at the hard corner at Ocean City last night. Decent size, easy digging smile

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.

Funny, they were showing great last night for us, but very small on average. Chowder for this batch.

Is it open tonight? I'm thinkn not??

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) today approved the Copalis dig, scheduled Dec. 24, 25 and 26, after marine toxin tests showed the clams are safe to eat. All other beaches remain closed to recreational razor clam digging

What are the chances of a New Years dig? Got a room in Long Beach for the weekend and that would be a great way to kill some time without having to go give my money to a casino......That's the last thing I wanna do!!!

No dice... if you get a Christmas dig, there won't be a New Years dig.

Just like good fishing tides, the clam tides cycle every two weeks.

Look at the moon.... full or absent = good clam tide. Half moons = $h!tty clam tides.

Saw something on a January dig but was busy and didn't read. Now I can't remember where I saw it.

Getting old,

Found it.

WDFW to announce tentative razor clam dig schedule in January

OLYMPIA – The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) will announce in January a tentative schedule of razor clam digs, pending the outcome of marine toxin testing.

State shellfish managers will wait for the results of testing the week of Jan. 4 before planning another round of digs. Thousands of razor clam diggers recently enjoyed a three-day holiday opening at Copalis Beach, the first dig of the season.
