RAZOR CLAM DIGGING

 

 

WE GOT TO THE BEACH EARLY IN THE MORNING, THERE WERE ALOT OF PEOPLE ALREADY DIGGING. YOU HAVE TO DIG WHEN THE TIDE IS OUT. YOU LOOK FOR A BUBBLE IN THE SAND, WHEN YOU SEE A BUBBLE YOU CENTER THE CLAM GUN OVER THE BUBBLE AND SCREW THE GUN INTO THE SAND. MOST OF THE TIME PAM CAME UP WITH A CLAM. WHATEVER YOU DIG UP YOU HAVE TO KEEP, YOU CAN'T PUT THEM BACK.

 

 

PAM LET ME TRY IT, IT WAS HARD TO PULL UP.....

 

 

BUT, WOW!!! A RAZOR CLAM!!!

 

 

 

IT WAS FUN!!  IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO GET PAM'S LIMIT, WHICH IS 15, RON WAS STILL DIGGING, BUT HE FINALLY GOT HIS 15. IT TOOK ABOUT A HALF HOUR. IT IS VERY HARD WORK, THEY WERE BOTH TIRED, SWEATING AND WINDED.

 

 

 

THEN IT WAS HOME TO CLEAN THEM AFTER A SHORT REST. YOU HAVE TO PUT THEM IN BOILING WATER TO GET THE SHELL TO OPEN.

 

 

 

AND THEN FINISH CLEANING THEM!!!

 

 

 

 

I JUST WATCHED, BUT I WAS GLAD TO SEE THEY DIDN'T THROW MUCH AWAY...WHAT THEY COULDN'T EAT, THEY SAVED FOR FISH BAIT. IT WAS VERY INTERESTING AND I APPRECIATED THEM TAKING THIS "GREEN SOUTH DAKOTAN".
