Okay, went back out today,
36 softshells, 12 gapers, and 8 cockles,
Wow!...that is a lot of clams! I have a new hunting dowel ready to go! Next week I will be in Garibaldi bay clammin...yeehaw!
On my next run out I plan on doing a little bit better organizing with my gear. Trying to carry a shovel, a clam gun, a bucket and a bag full of clams with sore and tired arms, while covered in sand, is pretty draining.
I've actually pared things down quite a bit.
Next outing is just going to be a mesh laundry bag, shovel, magic clam pointing stick, and maybe the rake. I'll bring the gun with me for giggles, and probably bring the shrimp gun as well.
I've been putting on nitrile exam gloves and covering those with some Ironclad work gloves - works pretty well to keep the sharp intrusions down.
You can limit this weekend. Supposedly there are razors at Cape Meares, so if you time it right, you can roll out for razors following the negative tide at Meares, and then when you limit on those, head south to Netarts - the negative series has the water going waaaaayyy out, so the flats in area 6 on the map will be accessible for quite some time.
IN fact, I may just go do that on Monday as well.
