I was going to post this and found kisfish beat be to it!

•Sept. 19, Thursday, 7:13 p.m.; -0.3 feet
•Sept. 20, Friday, 7:57 p.m.; -0.5 feet
•Sept. 21, Saturday, 8:39 p.m.; -0.5 feet
•Sept. 22, Sunday, 9:21 p.m.; -0.3 feet
•Sept. 23, Monday, 10:04 p.m.; 0.0 feet

Normally I would be trying to hunt something, but we have friends in from FL that have a list of places they would like to see. It’s their first time to the PNW.  So I thought I would combine a trip to the Olympic National Park with some evening razor clamming.  :IBCOOL:

+Sounds like 15 to 25 mile winds and 10 to 12 foot swell should make it an adventure in the dark.

Ten of us dug at grayland and had our limits in about 15 minutes it was beautiful there tonight people sitting in chairs and just taking in the ocean. Hope the weather holds off for your dig tomorrow. We were about a mile north of the grayland beach approach.

I have my best digs by hitting the beach about 3 hours before low tide, as soon as I see "shows" then it is fast limits.

If you show up later you will notice a line on the beach where there are a lot of holes, and a bunch of people walking around at the waters edge...  :dunno:

Do you guys know of an RV park around there?  We are thinking of heading out today, but I have never been anywhere to dig other than Copalis so any info would be appreciated   :tup:

Thanks!
Brian

The clamming yesterday was great and the weather was just perfect. I did make the mistake of using an unproven clam gun. I picked it up at a yard sale for .50cents. It looks to be from the 50's.  It worked ok but not great. The metal edge is very thin and flimsy. It would bend in the sand and I had to use the leatherman to keep straightening it out. Oh well still dug my limit in 15 min. The weather down here is starting to drizzle and rain. Fri @11.30 am. Good luck out there tonight
