CATCH and COOK Clams & Rockfish | Foraging & Fishing The Oregon Coast
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- For today's Catch and Cook Seafood Fishing Adventure we will be Clam digging / foraging for some tasty bay clams as well as jetty fishing for some Rockfish and will be doing a tasty seafood catch and cook.
This is 1 of 5 days that I spent camping out of my car down on the Oregon Coast, sleeping in random locations, fishing every chance I could get, and simply, just enjoying life. I hope these experiences educate as well as inspire those of you who are interested in being able to provide for yourself by taking advantage of what's already around you. Whether it's being able to catch your own fish to eat, or how to forage from the land. We have a lot of great resources, but unfortunately we also have a lot of depleting resources.. and how we treat this world is how it's going to treat us back.
You will never see me "limit out" , take, or kill, more than what is necessary to make a meal. This "take take take" mentality has put us in a pretty precarious predicament
I decided that for the first catch and cook video Barview Jetty would be my destination. Barview Jetty Fishing has been pretty good to me. It's located just North of Tillamook, OR and South of the town of Rockaway. The Jetty protects the Tillamook Bay.
Born and raised here in the Pacific Northwest , this place is very familiar and I am always confident that when I come here I will be able to find fish one way or another. Rockfish was the plan and I had a good feeling I was going to either be cooking up a Black Bass or a Kelp Greenling. These are two species of rockfish that are pretty easy to find here along the boulder lined jetty, as well as surfperch, but the conditions pointed towards rockfish being a better target.
I was using two different techniques for targeting rockfish. One was my go-to (a 3/8-1/2oz jig with a Berkley Gulp 3" swim bait) this technique usually finds me Black Sea bass, but at times it has also produced some decent sized Kelp Greenilings. (I typically fish this swim bait setup up off the bottom, for one to avoid snags and two, simply because I will use a bait rig if I want to fish the bottom) Lingcod can be found here as well and im making it a goal this year to land one.
Since I was more interested in eating a Kelp Greenling as opposed to a bass, I decided to go with the bait rig. As you will see, this rig is basically the same setup you would use for targeting surfperch. It's a pretty popular beach fishing rig. I was using sand shrimp for bait, and was down to my last one!
I lucked out and managed to find a fish.... after a mishap or two, but in the end I had my fish. Being that I am by myself, I was wanting to find something that was the right size so I could avoid wasting anything, this fish was the perfect size. I knew that I was pretty limited on supplies and only had the bare minimum for cooking a meal, but knew I could make something amazing out of something little, so I decided that since I had some noodles I should probably take advantage of the low tide and forage for some clams.
Clamming in Oregon, or anywhere for that matter, can be a LOT of Fun. When it comes to what you need for clamming, it's pretty simple. As you will see in the video I simply had a small kids shovel and an empty bottle of water with the top cut off. I would always recommend that anyone who is interested in, or planning to clam, to check regulations, toxin levels, and limits, since not all clams are the same. A quick reminder for those who are clamming -- FILL YOUR HOLES - never leave the holes you dug unfilled.. This is Clam habitat, please protect it.
Just up hwy 101 from Kelly's Marina is where you will find these huge clamming area. Here you can find all types of clams. I found some Purple varnish clams, which are pretty tasty so I kept it simple and kept about 5 or 6, even thought the limit is 72. You can also find razor clams here, but I would have needed more than just a plastic shovel, since not all clams prefer the same substrate, some like the sand, some like the mud, and others prefer it to be rocky.
The location for cooking this meal really wrapped up the day. I was cooking about 200 feet away from where I had caught the rockfish, and the view of the setting sun was incredible.

I love how respectful this guy is to the sealife and the environment. The meal looks great.
Lol ... it's a roller-coaster of emotions out there.
xyzct - Always hahaha
but bro you have what it takes to be the next big thing. Keep up the good work. I live in Medford and im learning where to go in your vids
Stephen Short - I appreciate that a lot bro. I hope things continue to grow. I’m always trying to improve my fishing and the content. I love hearing that in some way or another these vids have been helping people out.
Super cool bro !!! Out there camping all by yourself and harvesting your own meal.. rock on !!
Mark Crawford Oh Ya, solo adventures are amazing! I love being able to share the experience with all of you.
Love what you do what a great day and how could it be a better way to wake up 😃
That's an Epic meal!!
Love this state!
Adam Rector - it is pretty amazing Being able to go out and do something like this
I really appreciate your take on fishing. The bass you caught was too big for you to eat, so you released it. Not many fisherman would have that much respect for the fish. 👍👍👍👍👍 you’ve got my subscription and my respect. Maybe we’ll run into each other on the coast someday and I can shake your hand.
Good day out on the Jetty! I don't ever have much luck there :( Delicious lookin meal!
Fish and Forage It was an amazing day!! Weather & Fishing. I usually have pretty good luck out there. This was the first time I actually kept and cooked something. I think I’m going to have to start doing that more often.. fresh is the best. Hit me up when spring comes around, let’s get out there and see if we can change your luck
@@AnglingAddictsPNW Sounds like a plan!
I'm impressed by your simplicity, enjoying nature as it should be done. Your respect for what you do out there. Hopefully I'll see you around and swap some stories, places and techniques.
Thank you, after a couple deployments overseas it's much easier to enjoy time out in nature and respect the life it's filled with. I love what i do and love being able to share these experiences.. I'm always out and about, if you ever see me come say hi!
Sauté some onions and garlic and celery in butter/olive oil, then add your clams with some white wine and steam. Yum! French or Italian bread slices to sop up the juices-or have pasta like you made. The fish looks super yummy, too. I love panko-it really adds a nice crunchiness. Nice video-love the catch n cook😊👍
Trish Voss - I’m glad you approve! They are fun to do and there is something oddly satisfying when it comes to the sound of butter sizzling on a skillet. I will definitely try adding more ingredients in upcoming videos. A lot of it depends on location. Sometimes I’m just working with what I can fit in a backpack. I have a big one now! So I can fit all kinds of good stuff haha.. Panko is amazing, the crunchiness and taste goes a long way.
谢谢你的视频，向你学习。😊👍
Just stumbled across your channel. Due to that “CLASS” act of throwing the big bass back so as to not waste him, I’ve subbed. Great job! Looking forward to catching up on your vids! Newly retired fellow Oregonian and will be watching for fishing tips. Best to you! PS: great looking preparation of your catch!
MtnMan ‘47 - WELCOME to the channel and our fishing community. I hope the rest of the videos don’t disappoint you haha. I’m glad you appreciate me putting that one back. I don’t like to waste things, and definitely don’t like taking more than what I need. Hopefully the good vibes rub off on others that still don’t get the importance of respecting these resources.
That meal was delicious! I know I talked it up but wow. I was impressed considering it’s simplicity.
Always great vibes, love your videos.
Thank you
That first bass was a monster. Got me all excited. Amazing day of fishing.
Maniac Gameplay & Walkthrough - I LOVE getting that tug and knowing it’s going to be a good fish. This was another epic trip. Now I’m working on better quality content. Hopefully things just improve from here.
Glad I ran into your channel. Really nice videos from my home state! Good job
Thank You, I'm glad you found the channel.. there are quite a few subscribers that used to live here that watch these vides. I'm sure id be doing the same. It can be pretty amazing here.
great video, Go Giants!!!!
What about throwing the bass back lol, too big and too much I don't want to waste it. Props to this guy, this is why his vids are so cool. He's down home, would love to fish that coast all day long. Keep on keepin on!
great catch and cook. thanks for taking us along...
River Right Outdoors - Thank You, it’s always incredible how this experience I think I’m having by myself ends up being a shared experience with all of you. 🤯
I am a somewhat new subscriber and are enjoying your video's so much. I have recently returned home to New Zealand after living in coastal Oregon for the last 12 years. I enjoyed the fishing over there although not seeing salmon / Steal head or Coho on my plate for the rest of my life would be ok with me.. I never did any bass fishing there as the neighbors I fished with were only into those 3 species. Keep up the great video content, I appreciate it all.. memories of places I have been, Thank you ..
Maurice Brown - I appreciate the support for what I do and for the channel. Lol just had enough of the salmon and steelhead eh?!?! Glad to know these vids give you a little taste of memorable places for you. This can be a pretty amazing place. I’ve always thought New Zealand would be a cool place to visit.... and fish
Awesome!!! A little grated Parm on the noodles and you'd have a $30 meal !!…..again awesome!!👍👍
B Parr - that sounds delicious. I’m sure I will start bringing more things with me for future videos so I can dress things up a bit more.... thank you! The support is always GREATLY appreciated
Really enjoyed this video! I like how you only keep as much as you’ll eat. Just found your channel, kind of had a hard time with the one where you were tossing lingcod off a 30 foot cliff lol, but I saw that you said you don’t do that anymore. Good stuff.
Man your living the dream my friend... it's got to be great to have to river steelhead you've got and saltwater fish so close
Ralph Barton - I definitely try to take advantage of what we have here and the time I have to be out in it. Things are picking up, ideas are rolling, and things are happening.... I love it. Hoping the momentum continues.
Now my son and I want to go to the beach and do the same thing! Thanks for the inspiration!
Zeb Thielbar - It honestly makes my day to read this! That’s what it’s all about. Plan a trip and make it happen. Those are memories just waiting to be created.
looking forward to the next one
Awesome video!....Great job...😊👍
Steve Parr - Thank You Steve, this one was fun. I never know what to expect when I do something a little different. There will be a steelhead catch and cook on its way soon. I’m looking forward to that
One of my favorite areas. Your videos have helped me improve my catches at the jetty.
jeff classen I love this area. Though I think I need to expand on the territory and head south to try different areas. I know what I’m doing when I fish here though haha. Makes me incredibly happy to know my videos have helped.
Great video Nick. I will be doing some car camping this year, so these videos will be inspiring... thank you.
Rick Manyo Thank You, it can be a lot of fun. Glad to hear these videos will keep you inspired. Have fun!
Limpets, in Hawaii we call it opihi. Your videos are awesome.
Looks like the time of your life! Honestly, I wish I could join you. Eating fresh and catching only what you need to feed yourself/ your family is what I'm all about. Tight lines brothers, until we meet again on the water.
Jerry Martin - I’m thinking of some sort of group event down here or a simple meet up for fishing. Would love to get you down here. It IS a blast.. when you are catching fish and not losing gear haha. Let’s make it happen
cooking the pasta in the clam water.. very nice
Man, we walk the dogs on Bayocean all the time and I always think about hitting up the Jetty. Looks like fun!
Brett Suydam - it’s a fun place to fish.... well, it can be when you figure out how to fish it, it can be frustrating as well if and when you are just losing gear. It’s always worth a shot though
I love the little coffee shack in garibaldi lol Mexican mocha and Jetty fishing I love your channel new subscriber 😁
michael kline even when I bring coffee with me I find myself ALWAYS stopping in at that place. Welcome to the channel! The next few videos are going to be some of the best yet.
@@AnglingAddictsPNW thank you so much you fish all my spots lol I guess I can share but I truly hope to meet you and fish with you some day hope you have a great season
This is a Great Video!!! Thank you for the knowledge and show people how to respect the catch. Tight Lines Brotha
Vinny Maynor - Thank You Vinny, this was a fun trip and I think it was my first catch and cook vid. Respecting the catch as well as it’s habitat is important to me. When we don’t respect it and just want to take take take, that’s when we have issues. Good luck out there, thanks for watching
New favorite video right here bro!! Catching is only half the fun!
Also 1 whole stick of butter is perfect for any recipe! 😂
Rocky does it all - thank you so much bro, I was actually hesitant to put this out considering I have done anything like it yet. I really enjoyed this and already have another one lined up for next week.
Lol and I do agree on the butter. I will take my chances with cholesterol
Nick, you could have gone around the corner to Pirates Cove Restaurant and spent about $45.00 for the same thing... Oh I get it, yours are FRESH and FREE... Much better deal.. LOL. Great video, and I always go crabbing in that corner. I hooked a salmon going toward the jaws, but only lasted for 30 seconds. I hope someday soon to land my first there. Tight Lines My Friend.
Paul Monaco - haha this is true Paul, you know nothing compares to THAT fresh. That is a great little corner. I always see the guys throwing their snares. I was curious about salmon fishing from there. Hooking a fish would be one thing, but to land it with all those boulders would be sketchy... you will see me trying though haha, tight lines Paul
@@AnglingAddictsPNW Nick, I was in a BOAT crabbing when I hooked the Salmon. We were just killing time between pulls. The worst thing in that corner is the SALAD, too much sea-weed. I was trolling 360's and 3.5 spinners. SUPER Takedown.... But it didn't stay buttoned. : ( LOL.
Paul Monaco I should have assumed you were in a boat, not walking on those slick boulders. I fished there from shore once or twice then decided the salad and small fish were not worth my time. I see how it could produce salmon during the right times though!
Was just there a couple days. Caught some crab but no fish. I’m gonna holler at ya next time. I trade elk tips for rock fish/cod tips
Cool outing! 👍
Awesome video man!!
Matt Garber - Thank you! Adding new content can be nerve racking at times. You never know how it’s going to go. I’m excited to expand though!
I’m really looking forward to doing more of these
Nick nice looking meal
Loved it! That looked like one tasty meal!
NWHomesteader Thank You! Honestly, I surprised myself with how delicious it was...
Those black bass are masters at getting into rocks. You have to go full Roland Martin on them 😂
Valor God - haha had I been fishing heavier gear I would have definitely tried. I was stoked to get that one back. More often than not I lose them when they do that.
I love doing this! You should make more videos like this.
Mitch Weigel I didn’t realize how fun they were to do. I plan on doing a lot more and already have some crazy ideas going on. Thanks for watching
I'm always going out fishing on the Jetty by myself. We should get together soon and hammer some lings. I got some good spots down by newport.
Dude Oregon coast for life, I fucking love my state so much. Best coastal shit in the US.
This was a cool video, nice work as always. Cool to see something different
jeffh699 Thank You, it felt good to do something different. I’ve targeted other species but always feel obligated to be targeting salmon and steelhead.. if those fisheries go to crap having a backup is key haha
Your videos are so awesome love it keep up the good work!
Andrea Mace - thank you so much! I try
Doin it, doin it and doin well my man
Zerick Buring haha thanks man! I love fishing the jetty
YUM!
I changed my mind and gave you a thumbs up
Stephen Short - Thank You
nice i was just out there Friday playing C&R while hoping to find a ling. no dice there but still fun. bummed the barview jetty taqueria is no longer going to be right there at the jetty soon.
Jordan Baskett I left Friday afternoon, wished I could have stuck around longer. I definitely want to get out there and target lings! Wait, what? I didn’t know that. Where is it moving to?
Nice work bro that looked like a great time!
Kyle Cummings - Thanks Kyle it was a lot of fun... and delicious. You wouldn’t think it was winter time.
Great video! Keep them coming!
tony pozenel - Thank You! I already have another one lined up for next week. I’ve been wanting to get on more of a solid schedule
love it thanks bro! was there three weeks ago !
Dan M - thank you, I absolutely love fishing the coast. Especially when everyone else is on the rivers 😁
Catch fish, or not...you're livin" the dream...like your attitude about catch/release. Never keep unless I had to, if injured. Guess I'm gettin' to old, and now a softy. Fish to me are beautiful things...
William Cargile - They are beautiful! I’ve let so many fish go over the years. For me it’s the experience that is the important part. Too many people take and waste. I wish more people respected the fisheries, the fish, the water, and the whole system. Thanks for the feedback. I definitely feel like I’m living the dream 🎣🎣
Awesome video love all your content
Robert McGaughey - Thank You.. did you ever do much jetty or rockfish fishing when you were here?
Great video, .. Nick...!
I've had many trips like yours back in the day.... and had a great time by myself as well... about the clams, ... you said you can take 70 or.... I do love clams but not the sand and grit... here's what I do if I'm going to take that many... Put them in a bucket of clean seawater and about a cup of fine cornmeal... the clams will ingest the cornmeal and spit out sand and grit... when you cook them.. they will taste so much better without the crunch of grit... plus the broth with be sweet and yummy...👍👌...don't need a whole lot of water... you basically just what to steam them open and they'll be done........
70 or so would make a nice chowder..!
J Aaron - Thank You, I love trips like these. It’s all about the experience. 72 is the limit for purple varnish clams, that’s a lot of clams. They would definitely make a good chowder. I heard there was an easy way but this sounds amazing. I think I will have to give it a try next time around.
Thanks for the info!
Nice video man, this is one of my favorite ones you have posted.
Travis White - makes me happy to hear that considering it was something a little different. I’m always trying to improve things for you guys
Hey one question, are you in the bay when it's low tide or shoreline? When I was little my mom would take us Bayside to go clamming in low tide? That's a beautiful place. May make a mc ride up there some day, def staying out of Portland though 😎
Great vid man, makes me want to take the family camping to the coast ASAP
victor aldaz - Thank You! Make a plan and make it happen. It always makes my day to hear when any of these videos motivate or inspire others to get out
Oh man, that was a nice fish. I wouldn't mind catching those all day. Do they smoke up good?
Indian Beach at Ecola State Park in Cannon Beach has some nice Mussels on the rocks if you like them, I prefer them to Razor Clams as I couldn't taste the ocean in Razor Clams even though I had them different ways.. Mussel's , Razor Clams , other clams , Polish Sausage , onions , garlic cooked in white wine a must for any bunch of your friends. Add BEER...
Maurice Brown - I used to surf there back in the day. One of my buddies would always go snatch some mussels off the rocks and cook them up over our fire. I haven’t had razor clams in a while now, could almost forget how they taste. Gonna have to wait until next season to do a comparison. Polish sausage, onions, and garlic cooked in white wine?! I’m all over it, I will have to give that a try. Sounds delicious
Caught many lings, bass and crabs off the jetty not far from Lysters 30+ years ago.
Good times
martin lopez - good times indeed, delicious times.
Nice rockfish man!
Brendan Hughes -Thank You! That’s one of my favorite things about fishing in areas like these, you never know what you may get and how big it could be. It definitely makes it more exciting.
Looks yummy!!
Justin - I definitely don’t have a whole lot of experience when it comes to cooking but I’m figuring it out.. thanks man
Steelhead or salmon catch and cook would be awesome. Still don't know why I like them.... But I do!
GuyDudeBro - don’t know why you like catch and cook videos? I didn’t either but I realized there is something satisfying about hearing that sizzle lol.
I hear an American Widgeon whistling in the background when you started the clip with you about to go clamming!
Tipsy Vang - I wouldn’t be surprised. There were a lot of different birds around. I had to look up the American Widgeon. I’ve been trying to familiarize myself with all the other life around us
AnglingAddictsPNW you should make a trip there during October through January. You’ll see pintails, golden eyes, greater and lesser scaups. American and Eurasian widgeons, ring necks and more waterfowl. It’s great.
That weather was awesome! Havent really done a whole lot of jetty fishin this has givin me some inspiration!! That looked delicious 😋 👊😀
Michael Elkins I couldn’t believe how nice it was! Haha you aren’t the first one to say this inspired you.. makes my day knowing these vids are helping people get out there. Oh man, it’s was insanely good
@@AnglingAddictsPNW that sea bass was a beast though!! Honestly the fight in those fish is impressive i put in alot of time this past week looking for a trophy steelhead honestly to hook into one of those looks like like some reeeelll fun son!! 👊😀
Michael Elkins - haha ya I hear ya man. Here everyone was out chasing steelhead while I had free pickings of spots and just killed it that trip. I like steelhead but I don’t want to put anymore in the freezer. If anything I want coho and chinook in there. Sea bass are a blast, but hook a long from here...... hot dog you got yourself a fight. We will have to meet up down here some day.. or further south.
@@AnglingAddictsPNW sounds like a great time bud!! 👊😀🎣🎣
Great video! I haven't dug for purple varnish clams but they look tasty. Can you share the general area you found them in Tillamook Bay? Thank you.
DADventurer Thank You. They are pretty tasty. I think I will look for some different ones the next time around. This is a few miles north of Rockaway Beach off hwy101. You can’t miss it during low tide
AnglingAddictsPNW north of rockaway beach off 101. It that inside the lake lytle？bro
Joey Huang just north of Rockaway Is Lake Lytle. I’m not sure what you are asking though. All of this was done at Barview Jetty except for the clams. You can find those a little further up 101, just past Kelly’s Marina. There is a big pullout next to some train tracks. You can’t miss it when the tide starts getting low
AnglingAddictsPNW thank you so much! Bro .
I've lost so much gear thinking I was snagged on the rocks when I probably had a fish on and just needed to wait him out like you did.
Curt Nelson - lol I’ve waited out a couple snags before thinking it may be a fish. I’m usually trying to pay close attention for those indicators that a fish is on before before it’s super obvious. If you aren’t sure, it’s always good to wait it out for a couple minutes, give the line a little slack. The more you try to get it out of the rocks the more the fish is going to hunker down, and sometimes a fish has just gone around a rock enough that you aren’t getting the fish or your gear back.
Hey any suggestions? I’m planning on heading up to the Sandy or Clackamas tomorrow. I normally go to Glenn Otto but I’m thinking I might need to go further up in the system.
Brock Parker - sorry for the late response. Hopefully you are out there finding fish. It’s a bit harder to say when the water gets low and the sun is out... they had recently recycled some fish down to Lewis, so there could still be fish around down lower. There has been more luck near the hatchery considering we are a good ways into the season now. I would just be looking for any water that is a bit deeper where the fish could get more cover.
Awesome day man. Would you be willing to divulge any good fishing and clamming areas easily accessible for someone with a bad hip who can walk a short distance. I've been to the south getty in Florence and did catch 2 greenling and 1 crab.
Mike Rivers - after reading this I’m realizing that most spots I go to are either a good walk or you are climbing over boulders or down cliffs. Barview jetty is nice if you can just park in the gravel lot and fish right there on the rocks. It’s also a good place for surf fishing. I will let you know if something comes to mind, but as mentioned my areas usually take a little work
Bro that bass was a hog. Hell yes looks like a damn good meal. Good job on the first catch n cook, you should do some poke pole fishing that’s always fun there on those rocks and you get eel.
Bobby Benfield - Thank You, it was fun to do and oddly satisfying.. maybe it’s the sizzle haha.
I love getting that tug and KNOWING it’s going to be a hog.
Drop shot rig, word U were looking for...lol I was just there myself...
ohh yeah I never caught a rockbass and those monsters off the shore were really impressive where abouts was that area.
Stephen Short - this is barview jetty. The whole jetty area can be great fishing when the timing is right. Barview jetty is just out of tillamook
Looks like you had a great time, Nick. Did you have a chance to spend any time on the river?
Kevin Bushnell - it was much needed and a lot of fun. I think I will always remember the times when I roughed it out of the back of my car. I fished for a bit on the first day. I saw quite a few fish but didn’t have any luck. I didn’t think it was going to be so clear already... tons of boats on the drive back. Let’s do the sandy again and I will oar... or fish the Wilson.. or anywhere haha
Not really a fan of clams, but that dinner you cooked looks pretty damn good!
Paul Jabbour - I was actually kind of surprised it was THAT good. That garlic butter sauce on the clams makes it hard to taste, you can’t change the texture though lol. I’m looking forward to doing more of these
😊👍
A winter steelhead catch and cook would be cool
Robert McGaughey - I think I’m going to be doing a lot more of them. I’m looking forward to some salmon catch and cooks :)
Not much rock fishing but did go out far in the ocean for halibut and yellow fins
Robert McGaughey - two fish i’d still like to target. Just gotta find a way to get out there without paying for a charter.
I was a die hard salmon steelhead fisherman and at the age of 14 I was fly fishing for coastal cuttys and rainbows... over on this side of the country a lot of brownies , Brook trout , and the ever elusive golden trout
AnglingAddictsPNW My favorite lazy man fishing was plunking for summer steelhead at Jones beach on the Columbia
daaang dude do you want some fish with that butter? Haha!
Nachichoy lol according to some other viewers, I’m only half way to the “fisherman’s life” standard of using a full stick regardless haha
Hey we love your vids would love too take you out with us this summer.
Mark credit - Thank You! I have been having a lot of fun. I will gladly take you up on that!!
Lucky guy
This was fun... and I think it was my first catch and cook video 👨🍳
I was going to subscribe but looks like i already did. Lol. Awesome! Btw "tight lines" is PKs saying
Petchimommy - lol either way, glad to have you hear. I’m not sure who KP is but best of luck to you guys and I hope to see you on the water is what I usually say... I think at this point it’s going to be hard to not say or do something that someone else does. Lucky for me I don’t strive to be like anyone else ;)
BTW were did pk get that saying tight lines I've herd that saying since I was a kid
Hey, new subscriber here.
Recently decided to start fishing again. It's been 15 years and all east coast.
Love your channel. Following all your tackle tips.
Hit me up if you ever come to Shelter Cove CA
Welcome to the channel, thanks for subscribing. I could always use connections out of state, thanks!
Wish I know how to desand the purple varnish clams.
David Sung - one way to get the sand out is by putting them in a bowl of really cold water, maybe even put a little salt in the bowl as well. The clams should start spitting out any sand they have in them.
and subscibed
Stephen Short - thanks for subscribing! I must have been out on a trip when you commented. It’s not often I don’t reply to comments on here these days.
Lets throw some lines next time. #StayHookdMyFriend #Hookd
If your out again come check out my tackle shop. Ling Ling's tackle box
I just realized where the shop was located. I’m down in the area so much throughout the year. I will definitely be stopping in on my trips down there!
I'd need more clams than that i can eat like 4 lbs. I love 'em. I'd rather have the clams than the fish tbh.
haha ya i can only eat so many of them at one time... they are good though... do you not like rockfish? or do you just prefer clams over them? I've been wanting to go out for razor clams but they have had it closed for so long now
Hey nick! Not to air you out or anything (love this channel!) but when you’re done digging for clams you should really fill back in the entire hole you dug and not just barely cover the couple clams you put back, it’s very important for the beach ecosystem! In my opinion you could relate it to improperly handing the wild steelhead that you mentioned a few videos back... anyway, looked like a delicious meal!!
Ben Ryweck - I appreciate you pointing this out. Though I haven’t done a ton of clamming, I don’t recall ever covering the holes back up, or seeing many others do it. I didn’t realize just how important it was and why it is that the holes NEED to be filled back in. Considering I’m all about trying to help preserve our resources for future generations, I have no issue with you calling me out and educating me. I plan on doing more of these so I will be sure to do it correctly myself, and to point out why it’s important for the beach ecosystem.
Thanks bro, and yes it was really good!
@@AnglingAddictsPNW Not to worry about filling holes, the tide will take care of it nicely. This is an idea that was probably generated by someone who does more thinking about how things should be done than doing them...
King Slew - I think it is always a good practice, but with this being sand, it will fill in on its own. But there are also areas that people dig that are more rocky and you actually would need tools to be digging for the clams, those are the holes that have trouble filling back in themselves, ultimately ruining the habitat or basically slowing its recovery stage. I’m all for respecting the resource.
@@AnglingAddictsPNW Not true. Check out my video: Butter Clams ruclips.net/video/4qj8IZ-52Yc/видео.html
In Yaquina Bay, the only place that you'll find Butter Clams (Saxidomus giganteus) is in rocky strata. We returned the day after digging those limits and the area that they came out of was pristine, completely filled in. When digging Gapers, (horse necks) (Tresus capax) which requires a deep and sizable hole, if digging with shovel not gun. Hole will be mostly filled next day and completely returned to original state in a couple days... I swear this is the truth and not conjecture...
I could show you a more alluring way to hook those shrimp. Tight lines...
