Being in the water and outdoors was part of the appeal, but I also found the instant gratification of scraping clams out of the seafloor to be impeccably satisfying in comparison to regular fishing, where you can sit there all day and not get a bite.Īfter our successful harvest, we rinsed off the clams, rakes, and waders with the garden hose. We went out in Pocasset and dug up a full peck (a wire basket with an inner-tube around it) of quahogs.
