I know I know:lol:
Has anyone ever used a toilet bowl plunger for clamming, in particular for soft shelled clams? It's the preferred method up in Sable River, Nova Scotia Canada, where my people are all from.
We wade into the water from the edge of the bar up to about 1 foot deep and look for the show, then plunge about 7 or 8 times real quickly and up pops your clam. Anyone out there ever try that technique?
I need to know if I should strap my plunger on the roof rack for my trip out.......:think:
Wouldnt work....unless you are talking about tiny clams. A 3-4" softshell isn't going to come up from a 1" MAX diameter hole.....not in one piece anyway. Also the sand is going to give way when you push the plunger down, so I dont see how it would get any suction anyway.
Have you tried it, NO????
LOL, I HAVE DONE IT.....did you miss that part? I have caught baskets of large clams this way.
There's always one who says it won't work, even after hearing it's a common method in other areas.:lol:
A simple little google search would shed some light on the subject, but noooooo 'It won't work'.....
Have you ever tried this technique, Coastie? I noticed you "forgot" to answer......
:shock:
Try a search before spouting off.....:lol::lol:

There's several links to articles EXPLAINING THINGS that YOU are UNAWARE of
Just search clam plunger:lol:
They sell them commercially, did you know that too????...... I guess if your shop does not carry them, they don't exist right?:lol::lol::lol:
Numerous articles even mention how LESS CLAMS ARE BROKEN, but hey, you know eveything right, Coastie, even about what you've never even tried.
You are aware that the EASTERN softshell is not native to Oregon right? Are your clams different? Why not explain how:think::clap:Where do you suppose the EASTERN softshell comes from???
Just because YOU think something does not exist, or does not work in your own little world, does not make it so
