Weekend Plans?

[Clammer]

bRI , lures , small jigs …….. real nice ones .but to be honest . the skunk the last 3. 4 trips .

we did a switch & went F/W last time out ……...small jigs & bait .& we caught the largest yellow perch I,ve caught in RI . not one but just about everyone ……

been messing around getting a couple of F./W setups ready .started last year ,but didn,t follow up enough .
With the passing of denny I really don,t know what this year is going to bring besides trying to sell a bunch of stuff ::

I keep meaning to do some searching down near you ..But I havn,t got there .last weeks 46 miles one way ride for steamers & the tide didn,t go sucked

Let's wait for a warm day in March and give it a try in the river at the spring schoolie spot(s) down here...

RIRH sounds like a plan .But I,m still going to try down there soon , because many times the winter places arn,t the spring places ><>

Where the hell are you going for steamers? Wherever it is, it's too far. If you drag a boat down there are plenty of steamers in the Great Salt Pond and Potter's Pond.

no boat Mike , I need a boat for salt pond & potters

If I had a tide , I,d have smoked them .its just we get a good tide up here & doesn,t go down there .
&&& it goes the opposite also I,ll get a call of ..it should be a good tide there & I don,t go ……..they do well .
the problem with the ones down there is their shells are so soft … everything / way except a suction pump smashes them

You have a suction pump?

the toilet plunger doesn,t work where I went .its all dry digging & some are using that suction tube that you can buy on line / which is used a lot on the west coast for razor clams ><>

I use a wide tined rake made from a bent pitchfork. Works well. A friend of mine who was a professional digger up in ME made it for me. Works well for dry digging.

for steamers I have a wide & long tine head that is welded to a steel back braker handle for steamer s ..……..I have a custom short rake head welded on a stubby handle for necks dry digging .
I havn,t used the churning setups for years ><>
