I heard about a hot clam bite and had to get in on it. Picked up a bushel and headed out to the grounds. We had fish on minutes after anchoring and 3 keeps in the cooler in a half hour. The bite slowed some but we picked 2 more in the next hour. Then the bite got hot and we all had fish on. Mostly keeps with a couple of shorts mixed in. We kept our limit then released a few and headed in. Great day out after not not using the boat for over a month. I may try this afternoon too.
