I will be clamming Sunday
stomp stomp squirt squirt dig dig dig pick pick pick

generally you get the permit from the town in which you will dig. They control the shellfishery. For whatever reason.
They also pass the limits and when you can go.
Scituate regs are here::
clamming regs
For me that means:
Only get to dig 1/4 bu. in a week. (Mon -> Sun.)
only go on Thu or Sun
min size 2inch
So I go Sunday and limit. Keep them fresh in the fridge (eat some that night) If I get a chance I go the next Thursday and Limit again, put em all together and have a feast for FridayNight!!
(usually I end up only goin on Sunday.)
