The boat wasn't yet in the water so I had to find a place to clam that I could get to from the shore. It took some investigating but I found a reasonably good spot. The water was somewhere around 50 degrees and at one point about a cup of it spilled into the front of my waiters.

Not the biggest take of the season, but without a boat and in 46 degree water I was pretty pleased with the haul.
The photo isn't blurry, the lense is fogged from me breathing on it while I was setting up the camera. Notice the waders that I found at a yard sale for $10. The clam rake was $8 at a different yard sale. The Craig's Custom Clam Basket is an old basket that my Grandfather had with an even older life jacket tied around it for a float.
Yes Carrie, they are all legal. Amazing how long it takes to catch and prepare these suckers and how fast they disappear.
Scary huh, what a mug. Not to give away my secret Easter clamming location, but that is St. Gabriel's in the background.
