Fire Island-Ocean Beach- on the bay side, tons of them right there in the sand. Been there forever, just stick your foot in the sand and reach down and grab 'em!

You got the directions?

[Sumbub]

All this reading of clamming makes me want to go out too! I'd like the directions too if possible. Also, is there a license requirement at the town?

[reefman]

my last clamming at fire island which directions i vaguely remembered:

-drive east to the end sunrise highway
-take a ferry ride
-walk thru a hiking trail
-walk thru a forest
-arrive at the beach

getting there was more exhausting than digging.

	Peudochromis flavivertex- Pseudochromidae/Dottybacks/Basslets This is a great group of fish that no reef tank should be without. They do well in reef tanks and usually get along with most other fish. They can be somewhat aggressive, so you need to be careful with some of the group as they will become very territorial and chase and pick on other fish, and may attack shrimp and other inverts. They may fight with small wrasse or hogfish, like the six line wrasse as they’re similar in size and shape. They like to move things around the tank and some will pick up sand and drop it on you rocks and corals. They need a good amount of rockwork in a tank and you’ll see that a lot of them will hang upside down below rock faces. They are very hardy and will usually eat almost anything you feed them. They are usually very funny to watch, and they’re very active, as they never seem to lose the wild nature in them as a lot of other fish do once housed in a tank. They do jump from time to time, so you need to take that into account when keeping one. Peudochromis flavivertex-Sunrise A very non aggressive Dottyback that does well in reef tanks and also in Fowlr tanks also. Can be kept in groups, as long as there the tank is large enough and there is rock work. They have also been breed in tanks. If introducing more than one more Sunrise into a tank, it’s best to do it all at once. Females don’t have the yellow and are usually a dull blue with dots on the body; females don’t usually show up for sale. Should be kept in a minimum tank size of 55gals and supplied with plenty of rock work for it to hide.

LOL.. .reefman.. those directions are really vague like how you said. What directions?? Is it a really far hike? Lets plan a trip...

[greggnyce]

Just pick a sand bar in the great south bay and you should find them with your feet. The further east the better

That spot in NJ off of 117 is the sandy hook area. Down further in Barneget Bay you can fill a bushel of clams in 30 minutes no problem.

My son went yesterday in Peconic Bay and filled the bottom drawers of the fridge. He also got 10 oysters.

I'm from Upstate NY but would like to come down towards the city and do some clamming. I was hoping someone could direct me to the right place.
