Our First Geoduck Dig!

This is one of our first attempts at a Geoduck. It was a great time, as we dug some large Horse Clams for chowder and two Geoducks for the "Raw Bar" over the last two beautiful days.

Thanks to John's neighbor, Susan, for offering to record this adventure. She is a wealth of beach knowledge. The video starts about twenty (20) minutes into the endeavor, which ends well for all but the clam.

Thanks, John!!!

Northernpike56 (Great fish!!!) We'll likely do it again, as I just ate some for the first time =). I did, however, read that these are stationary creatures that live to be around 150 years old. In other words, we'll be awfully responsible (conservative) or smarrt about how we do it. I somewhat lost my drive to kill more of them if they can tell "siphon-witness" stories of the first automobile, WWI, or the Great Depression. Perhaps it should be back to yellow perch and steamer clams!
