Learn the basics on how to dig for Clams " Quahaugs " in Narragansett Bay Rhode Island by the Quahauggers themselves. Produced by Unique Video Productions 401.785.9337
At 19:04 the guy raking looks like a guy who was raking clams in 1984 in Grant, Florida. Clams where from shoreline to shoreline in the Indian River from Titusville to Sebastian Fl for a couple years.
I clam for bait, Great south bay,LI. Lots of fun on a nice day but I wouldn't want to make a living doing this! Aside from the labor and weather, there aren't that many clams here. Great video!!
Long Island is rich in shellfishing history. Many families fed on the money from shellfishing on the north and south shore. A few baymen still out there making a living on Long Island
Back in 84 when i was 11 i grew up in patchogue and my first job was for casino clam we bought all the baymens clams down at sandspit guys were making up to $1,000 a day back then damn good money.
Hey, I started quahoging this summer mostly around rocky point i average from 12 to 30 a rake. Wondering if this is average or im doing something wrong
Im from MA you on good spots I average 1 bushel ever 30 minutes - that's with an 18 tooth rake and on some of the best digging. You might not be doing anything wrong just have to get on better sets.
It may 'look easy' but it is not. It is hard backbreaking work to do day in and day out to make a living. If you have what it takes (or willing to keep trying until you have accustomed your body into having what it takes) you can earn between $400 and $700 per day.
There are several places on Narragansett Bay where you can just pull your boat in and sell or you can load on your truck and drive them to a buyer that would be local.
@@BoatMan_ casino clam in patchogue on East Main St and Washington Ave. use to buy from clammers now they just reopened with new owners the old owner Phil passed away. So i am not sure if they still buy but check them out you will need to look up their number. If i recall correctly there was another place.in Blue Point caled Blue Point Clam Co again need to look up then number.

@@NewYorkHardCore-vr4ik Cool, thanks for the info
Is that a hand made rake ?pls I need an answer
the rakes are made by a gentleman in Warwick RI...usually but the stales..".the poles " are bought by manufacturers in New England
What type of boats would you suggest for this?
safety, reliability, comfort, utility and economy. thats the order I choose, Safety is always first the others are in your own order.
Have different machine
Looks like the most difficult part is getting a license
