Geoduck is generally the most difficult shellfish to harvest in Puget Sound, Washington. This is actually our first time digging geoduck; fortunately, we were tagging along with an expert. For that reason, we were able to catch our limits within 3 hours. This is actually hard work. It requires us to get dirty but the reward is nice. In Washington State, the daily limit for geoduck is 3, first three.

Watching this a second time! I miss doing this as I am old and can't do it anymore. Thank you for sharing and bringing back memories. I know other tricks to digging for all sorts of clams in this area. I was doing this when I was about 7 or 8 and my friends always asked me to go with when harvesting cams, I miss those days. Thank you for sharing so I can enjoy those times again. ❤️

To use clam gun...push down as far as you can as you twist left to right, pull lever up and pull out sand. Don't go up and down as you use it. It works on suction. That is why it broke. 😉Keep digging and learning. I was digging these when I was a child. Hard work but so worth it.

That is not a clam gun, It is ghost shrimp suction pump.

Just a little off topic, but I believe I worked with you briefly at Northwest Pipe around 1990. Sound familiar?

Wow! Looks fun! So you have 3 each as limit? How do you know where the geoduck is to dig down?

I live there and there is normally a little hole that sprays out water

Yes, each person can keep only 3 per day. When you on the beach, look for sign the shoot out water. It's siphon/neck is about the size of the toe.

@@TriNguyenNWOutdoors 3 per day per person, that means you can go back tomorrow to catch another 3? day after day? no limit? in california, I think that there is a max number of 20 geoducks that each person can catch during one year.

@TriNguyenNWOutdoors 2 жыл бұрын

@@mr.commander3947 Yes, you're correct. 3 per person is the daily limit. There not many on the beach, so the more time you come back then higher chance you'll come home empty handed 😃

Nice catch! Where on Vashon Island is that? Can o lay be access by boat or can be access by car once we take the ferry over?

@TriNguyenNWOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын

I don't remember the exact location, but the guy took us there mentioned it cannot be accessed by land without trespassing into someone property.

It's true that part of the beach is private but boundary ends where the high tide at. I think the rest of the beach belong to the state, so it's accessible to the public from sea. Home owners think the own the whole beach but it's not true though. Cops were called there multiple times but most of the time they only explain to the owners that the don't own the whole beach. I am not sure about Tribal land but I'll double check. Thanks!!

@@TriNguyenNWOutdoors Home owners think they own the beach to the mean Low Tide line ,Because they do . Cops are compleatly ignorant about property lines. The legal descriptions are Public Record. You can't just make up your own rules, because you want something that belongs to someone else. Your fortunate you had contact with Islanders that will call the cops . A lot of them won't.
