A 2' long, 4" tube, with handles and a thumb hole.
I'll take a picture of one when I'm at home. I'm still at work.

It's like the things you plant tulip bulbs with, only bigger. Sort of a metal sleeve with a handle on top for spinning it to dig into the sand.

On our coast you dig razor clams. They're to deep to rake.
Here are some.

QH, do you use a clam gun for those? What kind of limit do you have?

Limit is 15 per digger.

15? Any other species t dig while you're there? Here I'm allowed 100 of every species of shellfish. I could get 100 each oysters, mussels, softshells, quahogs, razors and barclams in a day with good tides and no one to slow me down. I never have but I legally could.

To the best of my knowledge, there's no clam limit here. Oysters are a bushel a day (I think), but I've never found any oyster rocks that weren't already marked.

Oysters here can be found laying on the bottom in eelgrass beds. Commercial harvesters mark their territory with buoys, everything else is fair game

Wait, Maryland's clam harvest is unregulated? I'm writing a letter to your governor.

Well, they did bump the size limit up from 3/4" at the hinge to 1" at the hinge. And I'm here to tell you, that 1/4" increase took a LOT of clams out of the running. Damn keepers are so big now with the 1" limit that your belly almost gets full slurping down all the others before going back to the dock.

Why?

The Great Lakes come with all the perks and none of the dangers.


I like the great lakes for te giant petri dishes that they are, indeed some of the most productive freshwater fisheries in the world, but marine ecosystems are where it's at. The great lakes are just really big puddles.

There's tuna you can get on the great lakes ;)
