Clam hunting
I got too much vacation time on the books so I'm taking next week off and staying beautiful Pismo beach.
Now if you are not in the know Pismo is the clam capitol of the world so I thinking of doing some calm hunting. Any professional clam hunters here on the board? What kind of bait should I use? What ammo works best? TIA, Scott P.S. I will be off the internet while on vacation so you will have to get by without my useless inane ramblings... I feel your pain.

Marguritas are known locally in Pismo as liquid panty remover!

pismo clam
There are no more Pismo Clams in Pismo. The voracious sea otters ate them all. They eat their body weight or more everyday of shellfish. Crabs, clams, mussels,abalone and sea urchins are devastated where they live. They abide by no size limits or bag limits either!

I dispute the claim that I am a sea otter. But I am cute.

Bearded clams and pink snappers are often. found in the same area, usually between two long penninsulas.

Pismo Beach...isn't that where Bugs Bunny was headed when he took a wrong turn? And the Great Carrot Festival located therein?

The secret to abalone is to find one relaxing on a rock and quickly slip one finger between the shell and th rock and see what happens.
The only problm with this method is that you can only catch 10 abalone, after that you run out of fingers ![]() |

Bugs Bunny's lines were:
"Pismo Beach and all the clams I can eat!" "Pardon me Mac, but could you direct me to the Coachella Valley and the Great Carrot Festival within?" I know, No life. Les
