I thought we might miss the dig but the Mariners clinched just in time with an hour or so before low tide. We got our limits in about 30 minutes or less and the clams were huge. Great day all around!

Got there late (right at low tide) didn't go to our usual spots, just hit the beach approach and started digging. Ended up 2 clams shy of a 4 person limit. It was not great where we were, but not bad for claiming an incoming tide with some digging after dark.

I found as many crabs as clams, but all female.
Never had the issue with crabs before.
Usually dig at Twin Harbors though.
