Where can i go clamming in long island?
I hate to break it to you, but the water quality around Long Island can be pretty bad (see link, below), so clamming, while fun, might not be advisable? On the other hand, lots of people do it all the time, so why shouldn’t you? There are at least 24 baymen in Huntington Harbor who clam Lloyd Harbor and Huntington/Northport bays most of the season. Some for the whole season. Most run small open CC’s customized for their needs with “drop boxes” for their take. Working waters anywhere from 6 to 25′ deep with rakes and long handled extensions. They moor their boats mid way up harbor along West Shore Drive. There’s also clamming in Cold Spring Harbor and Oyster Bay too. Check out the 2nd link for info on Long Island clamming…
