We used to make them out of 1/4 grease barrels. Cut the bottom off and cut slots near the top and line them with split garden hose for hand protection.

I gotta try this goeduck thing some time...
I never even tasted one.

 

Haven't ever dug them and don't know how large they are or how deep but for gaper clams I use an arms length piece of Schedule 80 8" pvc. If you need larger you may be able to find it at a hardware store or maybe call the water company or a plumbing contractor and see if they have any scrap pieces that would work for you. Good Luck:twocents:

 

You are welcome to borrow mine. Smaller diameter, dig out by hand/small trowel. They work great, and are easy to carry. I'm just north of you--you can pick them up on your way. Shoot a PM with your rough schedule and we'll work it out.

 

Where are you going? Whats the tide? I haven't looked but didnt think there were any good tides coming up.

 

huh? u r going to make a gun like for razor clams??? but for geoducks????

 

No not like razor guns, like this...

 

i don`t get that, what does that do?. am no pro at all but at first i use a shovel next to ducks then when am close,use a little garden hoe to finish.

 

It's just for shoring--you don't have to dig a huge hole, and it doesn't collapse in on you, especially on a rising tide. Often the last 'duck of the day is pulled from standing water around the outside of the tube.

 

interesting, thanks for the explain. :cheers:
