Now that many of you have given some awesome sounding clam chowder recipes, I'm hungry already for more.
With the recent beach closures for clamming, is there a place in Newport Bay you can clam? Also, how low of a tide do you need to get decent clamming. I've heard any minus tide, but how minus does the tide need to be before I am wasting my time?
How about Netarts, can you clam on any minus tide or do you have to be let's say -1 foot or more?
I'm new to clamming, and only have been once last year when the tide was about -1.5 at Netarts. We got close to our limit.
Today is question day, if the beach is closed for clamming are the bays toxic also? I don't see a closure for bays, unless I am missing something.
I'm very interested in learning where to clam in Newport Bay. This Saturday is a -.76 tide, is that good?
