Limit bagged in 45 minutes - 03/31/02 08:52 PM
Damn, what a day this morning! Got up to be out before low tide and there were a LOT of people out. After 45 minutes and a little hard work I had my limit of razor clams, and the two folks with me had their as well. Only muched 3 of them, so not bad for a beginner.
Long Beach wasn't as crowded as was expected, but the success was excellent. Saw many more blow holes than we needed. Still can't figure out why those folks with the shovels would pass them without digging, just because they didn't squirt when they hit their shovel nearby. Hitting all the spots that looked either like mini volcanos or small concave spots I only came up empty five times. Biggest was about five-and-a-half inches long (the shell). I've got them cleaned and vaccuum packed. Next is chowder!
Nice day on the beach, that's for sure.
