Fresh Clams for Bait

[Pt.JudeJoe]

There's a place in Bristol but I am not sure exactly where. You can get a bunch cheap.I may try clams this spring as there are no bait stealers around now like there are in summer. They are bangin' em on clams in Jersey right now.

I love Clams!!

I have used clam with mixed results.

Has anyone here ever died there clams?? I have heard that coloring them make them a better bait??

I am loaded with Clams, from the Grant, Must be 100 bushels out there waiting to become bait or chowder

I think Blount seafood somewhere on the east side of the bay has them. Best to call ahead. On LI there are lots of clam boats sailing out of a town called Freeport on the south shore. You can buy shucked clams there for about $12 a bushel.

That is a Montopoli Company. I know the owner very well. Provides top shelf hand shucked clams for the foodservice and chowder industry.

A very old and locally famous salt fisherman recommends tieing the clam onto the hook with red thread. He swore by incoming tides for this bait.

Yep. Montipoli. I interviewed with him for a job there +/-8 years ago.
