@@TheFishLocker I'm from the West Coast of the US, can confirm that the beaches are boring. Probably because everyone goes and illegally harvests anything edible (fish, crabs, seaweed, mussels, clams, barnacles, etc.) so the beaches are pretty barren. We have millions of sand crabs (actually not crabs at all) though, which are apparently good fishing bait. I love razor clams, but the Pacific Ocean razor clams look like the big oblong one you dug out of the hole. Good luck finding one here if the rest of the crowd hasn't gotten them already.

When I was in the army ,a long time ago ,I was stationed in Alaska and one time my company went to Kodak island, we camped on the beach we had a field kitchen with us , and we caught sea run dolly varden trout,they were fallowing the salmon up this stream , all of them were about 28 inches long. We caught Dungeness crab under an old pier with nothing but a piece of string that we tied fish guts on and we picked mussels of this rocky point,you could pick a 5 gallon bucket in no time flat ,the reason I mentioned the field kitchen is that the cooks out did them selves cooking all we brought to them and we ate like kings. These same cooks back on post ,Fort Richardson , would burn water ,but why they shined on that trip is a mystery. But after that trip I’ve always loved mussels.

kevin buckler - I did do a bit of research into what they were when I got home. They were absolute bruisers, proper cod bait clams.haha. A few folks have laughed at me for putting the scallops back. I haven’t been able to explain properly why I did it yet, partly because I felt they were too good for bait, and partly because they are quite special and I feel happier thinking of them living there rather than not. If that makes sense? I’m an odd one some times.lol. 😉😛

The clam you found is often harvested by clammers in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, in the states of Washington and Oregon. It is known as a geoduck. (Pronounced as "goo-ee-duck") The clam is often a good meter below the surface. If you look this up on KZread, you will see that most seasoned fishermen use a specialized tool for catching them. One other thing to note, the geoduck you found was on the small side. They make for very good eating, but look up how to prepare them. They have a skin that needs to be removed. Love your channel. Continued good luck fishing!

- Yes we know them as Gaper clams or soft shelled clams. I have spent the "clam guns" you mean. Simple yet very effective. I am going to make one and try it out. ;)

Nice one lad.

Nah. The Geoduck has such a huge siphon it's like a big bratwurst wedged in between shells that can't even close because that's how big the siphon is (it really does look a bit like a dick >_>). Other types of clam also have a siphon sticking out of them, so this is just a species of clam.

At 19 min in that was most certainly a geoduck clam. It just wasn't at its full extension, but was still decent size. The body of the shell gives it away. The razors are narrow with smaller bulbs....if you google geoduck it can show you how it may shrink up, but also how far that part handing out can extend or grow.

Hi John that snail id is pelican's foot.Great info.

Ray Gibson - You’re absolutely right. I wasn’t long off the camera when I remembered the name. Just had a mental blank when put on the spot.haha. I used to be massively into collecting shells when I was a boy. As you can imagine all the cool kids wanted to hang around with me. 😆

One of my sons (he is six) and I spent a beautiful and manly evening watching your uploads. We both loved them as we have tried foraging often (never by the sea though). You have inspired us both. He particularly loved watching you catch and eat a lobster and two crabs. He wants to find one now himself haha thanks for that - we had a great evening together :)

Slipper limpets are a fantastic bait for pretty much anything, in 1s an 3s for small fish or several threaded up the hook shank. The only thing is in Dorset there are signs on the beaches now saying it's illegal to remove them or to use them as they are invasive? I had used them for years salted or frozen and after a big storm there would be big clumps of them thrown up above the tide line and as a free plentiful bait they were ideal for us kids. Have you heard of such a ban John? Great video as always 😊

- I knew they were invasive but cannot understand why there would be a ban on using them unless its to hopefully stop folks bringing them to new areas and leaving them there?
