    Razor clam digging.

    Tomorrow morning we are taking our RV to the ocean for a week of razor clam digging. They just lowered the limit back to 15 clams per person.

    The last time we went for a dig was last fall. The limit was 20 per person because for some weird reason they closed the seasons for a year or two because of COVID. The clams were unusually large. I don’t expect that now.


    We should get five days of digging.

    We went clam digging three days. We did poorly on the first day, but got our limit on the next two days. One more day and I’m going to take more than my daily limit to make up for our bad day.

    The clams are running the gamut on size. Many are pretty large, but some are very small. When you dig a razor clam you are required to keep it. You can’t throw back smaller clams. I did give smaller clams to novices who were digging for their first time.


    They weren’t as plentiful as in the past. I think they need to stop the harvest of razor clams for one year.

    There are always a lot of people digging, but today not as many as usual for a Saturday. Thursday and Friday we were almost alone on the beach.


    Im going back to my normal honey hole tomorrow for our last day.

    We enter the beach at the public access at Mockrocks and drive about five miles north to the mouth of Joe Creek where no one else other than people who live there digs. I don’t know why no one goes there. The clamming is awesome.

    We are staying at a small state park right on the ocean where everyone is here clam digging. Right now there are groups of people on the beach building fires and partying. It’s a hoot. The wind is a little cold, but it’s not raining.


    Low tide tomorrow is about 1045 am, so we can sleep in. You start digging about an hour and a half before low tide.

    Does anyone here have any experience in analyzing the mind of a stalker?
