ya.  Im not sure i could even get fresh clams right now.  in spring we get them by the bushel.  i like skipping the shells across the water, like a big 5 year old

Those shells are chum dude. Take a fresh shell clam and smack it into pieces with the hammer. Use the butter knife to carve th bait out, usually get two baits out of them, hook it cast it out. Use the broken shells as chum. The oil from the clams permeates out from the broken shell pieces as they are carried along the bottom by the current. Very good tactic.

yup. i have a small mesh bag that all the shells and old clam off the hooks goes in, then gets hung over the rail. i still like throwing the shells and the sea gulls though

Another awesome day on the bay. little more chop out there today but very fishable. set up in the same spot as yesterday and laid into them again. fished the whole outgoing tide , with water temps already around 49 degrees Rolled back into the barn around 3ish with a 3 man limit. started asking around and no one else got shit, we were one of two boats that got fish. that was pretty awesome

no cows again today big fish was 40" still a blast though

No shit? Good luck dude. Looks like a light NE wind 5-10, and increasing towards the end of the day. What tide you fishing?

im gonna catch a little bit of every thing. start fishing at 7 so ill catch the last half of the incoming, and weigh in at 4 so most of the afternoon out going. morning shouldnt be to bad with the wind going with the tide. and hopefully it lays down in the after noon.

my big fish this year were caught in 20+mph and 4 foot rollers, maybe its good luck .
