If that's the case I would suggest going for gapers and butter clams in Coos Bay. Pigeon Point in the Empire area of the bay has a pretty sizable population of both and access is fairly easy. It's a mix of mud and river type rock that's not the easiest to dig in but the rewards are well worth the effort, I've never left without my limit
Here is a Google maps shot of Pigeon Point. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.3595734,-124.304154,784m/data=!3m1!1e3 There is a small pull-off on the bay side of the road just south of Beacon Lane, that's where I usually go. Head out from the pull off in North Westerly direction and you'll know when you're in em....there will be squirts and shows EVERYWHERE! LOL. There's even the bonus of possibly finding a few cockles and littlenecks in the sandier areas. Best of luck to you guys, be sure to post a report!
See you there in the morning Fred? Well be there at daylight.
Thanks for the info for clammin' @ Pigeon Point. Fred
We are on the way home now. We ended up with two quick limits. We had an absolute blast. Thanks again. Will definitely be heading back for more. What a great time.
I haven't counted but I think we got about 10 gapers and the rest were butters.
