MauzDeadalive Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 So this past weekend my family and I went down to Coos Bay for some clam digging fun with my in-laws. We had a blast and my in-laws are seasoned veterans at the digging for clams game down there. My in-laws mentioned that digging for Geoducks was something on their bucket list and I have to confess I would love the experience myself. (call me crazy) I come here to find out if maybe any of y'all happen to know some good spots to make this happen at or have any tips/hints/advice. Bonus points for keeping it close to Portland as the in-laws already vetoed heading up to the Seattle area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 They are both cunning and vicious. Be wary, lest the hunters become the hunted ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romans832 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Pumpkinhead is very adapt at going after Gooey Ducks. He's taken me hunting for them in Hood Canal. You watch for their Spout &/or the big breathing hole. You start digging along side of where you saw them, as you do not want to hit them directly. You must dig fast and hard and try to come right along side of them to the point you can pull them out of the side wall... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 If you won't come north I can't give you a good location. But there are two ways of hunting geoducks. With a can that you put around them and dig, or to just have two people dig next to the geoduck and a third put their hand down in the hole and find the beast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 When you dig them they can be as deep as your arm, so be ready to get a bit dirty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michalius Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Step 1) Get some marijuana. Step 2) Wear a Bernie T Shirt Step 3) Go into a forest near Olympia. Step 4) Smoke said marijuana blatantly. Step 5) Watch as the hippies start to congregate around. Step 6) Tell the chosen victim that they're invited to your Poetry Slam/Protest against privilege. Guaranteed you'll be headed home with at least 100-200 lbs of Geoduck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
