A buddy of mine (an old salt, not some googan McFloogan) gave me some sound advice on how to better keep clams on your hook when chucking them from the surf. Whether you buy 'em frozen or harvest a bushel in the off-season, the key is to properly defrost them before ya head out to ur fishing...

As a bait for Stripers I have heard on the beach that both Sandworms and Clams can be an excellent bait. What would you guys reccomend between these two? I realize that eels are the best to use but between these two baits what is the better of the two? How would you reccomend rigging these...

I had a bucket of clams last year that got put up in the freezer after an outing that proved to be my last. I have a chance to spend an hour around Salem Harbor tonight ( a rare occurance) and wanted to try for a fish. Can I use these or do they get "burnt" and un-apatizing to the stripers? How...

I have heard of this but never tried it. any suggestions. one thing i did notice was that the mud where i was in RI is very different from the sand and rocks on the cape. the rake hardly works. I found most of the hogs with my feet. I know this is not fish but they taste really good too...

I tried casting clams from the shore. It seems like casting out a big snot. I didn't put any power behind my cast because I thought the bait would simply fling right off. It did. are you supposed to use them totally frozen? Only from a boat? I tried hooking it through the tough leathery...
