Where do you live,seems like I remember some where on e. coast, what were you doing on tokeland beaches? What do you think of razor clams? You may have not gotten fresh ones since there were no openings at that time,and there is a real difference.Give me a p.m. Last year the season was closed for high levels of domoic acid, kind of like a red tide, and if you got frozen, you have not yet experienced razor clams.
