how to catch razor clams
3. Salt Them Out. Razor clams are extremely sensitive to salinity. One way to reduce your effort and have the clams come to you is to use table salt. As soon as you see the show, when it is open widest, pour salt into the hole.The clam should emerge in order to escape the salt and then just catch it and place it in your ice chest.Be sure to check fishing rules and seasons with the Department of Fish and Wildlife (1-866-880-5431). Thereâs a limit on how many clams you can harvest at one time.. Dig With a Clam Shovel. Once you locate the holes in the sand, dig quickly with a clam shovel. Go straight down about 3-6 inches from the center of the clam show. Place the back of the shovel facing the hole and begin removing sand.
