I went to Ocean Shores to try razor clamming for the first time. We started clamming at low tide, but there were hundreds of people already on the beach. The first hour was tough because I didnt know what the "shows" looked like. Plus there were holes dug up and foot prints everywhere.

The last hour was way better. We had walked a mile or longer away from the crowds. I was able to limit out by the noon deadline. I broke alot of the clams from inexperience. It was fun and I would do it again. Only saw one person fishing for surf perch.

AWESOME! Wish I could have gone but commitment at home kept me from it. I'm hoping to hit some of the upcoming digs. Way to go! Glad you had a good time.....

Awesome - hope to try some time. We bought a clam gun like that one and one clam shovel. Will have to see which one's more effective.

I was wearing gloves while using the clam gun. Couldnt tell the difference between hard sand and cracking shells. The clam guns outnumbered the shovels from what I could see. My friends that were with me didnt break any shells with the clam guns. The people with shovels were getting thier fair share. I think the key was locating the "shows" rather than what you were using. Thanks Rocky, I thought it would be fun to post a razor clam report.
