Title: Razor clams
Post by: bwgdc on April 16, 2015, 04:24:04 AM: I am thinking about taking my kids to try to get some clams this weekend but I have never done it before. I was thinking about going to ocean shores for the day. Can anyone steer me in the right direction. Thank you

Get down there a first light so you have plenty of time for the learning curve.

Dont buy those cheap PVC guns as they suck for getting down fast.
The link below has everything you need to know.
