Yes we dug the clams. Learned a little about them too from a local gal. Not a native species like the Butter clam. Invasive from Asia introduced in the 90's. I believe they are Varnish clams. We let them soak for a couple hours to spit out, but they still had some grit when we ate them. Not sure if you can ever get around that? Some say black pepper or cornmeal helps in the water, never bother with it though.
The first picture on the second post is the oyster bed in the bay we stayed in. Go down at low tide and pick exactly what you want. Little guys for slurping up raw and the little bigger ones for the grill. All shells back to the bed once done and repeat. Good stuff.

You're teasing right Grrrl. You've fished that river and at a lot better time to do so I might add. Maybe this fall I'll return.

That's a marker buoy marking the tip of a reef. To my knowledge the letters don't mean anything other than to identify the buoy. Lots of birds and fish around the reef that morning. Was awesome.
Thanks for the comments all.
