agree with DK. once before bed, once when you wake up and maybe on last time at noon. the ring the dinner bell. cornmeal never worked for me. a little sand and trace elements are just what your body needs, anyway!

Good ideas for cleaning clams....you can't go too far wrong just soaking them in saltwater for a few hours, then having a great lunch.

For sparkly clean restaurant quality steamers, give your amigos a couple wire brushes and ...presto.. Shiny steamers!

I am constantly amazed at Pomano's ability to include 2 things in almost EVERY photo he posts: A beer, and an attractive female.

Well done.

Got 200 in 45 minutes. Traded 100 for a two for fat Sierras. So arrest me! A secret place in BOLA known only to my bud and myself and maybe 15,000 others.

A boat is required to get to the best spot(s). You can get them at the estuary but not the same quality. The estuary is a real fun place to crab - have a few drinks, wade in with a landing net and chase them down!

I can honestly say I have never taken a clam. I've been tempted because 20 years ago in some areas it seemed so easy and everyone else was doing it by the buckets. Now my daughter gives them names. If you find Melvin please don't eat him.

Hola,

about 15 or so years ago, my son and i and another family went to san quintin taking used clothing to my friends families and also do some surf fishing for barred surf perch.

while surf fishing, a panga pulls up and what is now called hookah fishing, two guys fire up a compressor, one guy puts the end of a garden hose in his mouth and jumps over with a five gallon bucket.

very quickly, the other guy pulls the rope with the bucket attached and dumps out a full bucket of pismos on the deck and does this several times.

i said to my friend, i don't think the resource can survive with this type of carnage. he told me don't worry, they'll never run out.

about five years ago and on the same beach of the old presidente hotel and at low tide, lots of the mexicans were digging for the pismos and i didn't see any clamming success. a couple of guys were using about a four foot piece of thin rebar and poking into the sand in search of the clams. i didn't see them find any.

didn't catch any perch either.

BIEN SALUD, DA RAT

very sad !

on another note, we did some clamming on the beach near malibu in so. cal. and we turned a big boulder over and dug and hit the mother load.

we brought them home in a big ice chest with sea water and we put a metal crowbar in with them and after a while, the clams were squirting like crazy.

tokk them to a chinese restaurant we always frequente and had them cooked up.

yum !

So, why the ban on non-citizens clamming (shell fishing), but not fishing? I can get a license to fish but not to clam? Wondering if anyone knows the back-story on this.

the thing about baja clams are there is no runoff from the big city to be filtered and the contaminates build up in the big city clams.

face it, nothing is as good as you remember it to be but if you put in the effort......

Could it have anything to do with the belief by Mexicans that the Japanese pearl industry killed off Baja's pearl oysters?

Ah, David K. you have probably hit the nail on the head there. Makes a lot of sense.

It was just a guess based on some history... It may be something entirely different, however.

While searching for the data on this, I came across some cool abalone history and a photo of the abalone farm at Bahia Tortugas in the 1920's.
