islandgun Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 big spring tides and a bottle of salt and be quick ,cos they can move fast. you squirt the salt into the holes and they pop out As john said, Im not sure if they move down in very frosty weather, if you get any I will take as many as you get. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Be careful many beds are contaminated and pose dangers to humans (more important after all these floods) take local advice. When you grip them don't pull when they pull, wait for them to relax- then pull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) I found out why there are called razor clams. i stood on one with my bare feet and it was only my heel bone that stopped it going in any further.

jimdfish Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I tried for months, built clam diggers etc and never got owt. I found it easier to buy them in the end. Sneaky elusive **** that they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artschool Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 MM is a expert on these! you don't need salt or tools, just sneak up on the clam grab it then wait till it gives in like kent says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
