Whoever discovered this is either a madd scientist or just plain madd!

Skin,-so-soft is well known but mixing it with Scope. Cleaver

Greenheads have a savage bite!! Sucks so bad

[joeya78]

Just wear a sun block style shirt with long sleeves , that’s the best to keep them from biting you.

The scope added to the Skin so Soft gives the green heads minty fresh breath after they bite the cr@p out of you....

Black sand flies are worse.

So my first time clamming was down that way as well..... One of the guys from the site, Howie, hooked me up with some rakes to borrow and a general location.

A friend of mine had his boat down there at the time and we tried to get into the area he told us but even when staying inside the channel marker sticks, it was too shallow for us. We switched gears and found a shallow flat in the area we could wade into...

Got off the boat holding the rakes and bushel baskets and were immediately covered up with those flies. With your 2 hands full it was hard to swat the buggers ... Toughed it out long enough to harvest 2 dozen or so little necks and got the hell out of there...

I was so proud I called Howie afterwards (Sunday afternoon) to let him know we scored... He asked me when did you clam? I said earlier this morning.... He said you know it's illegal to clam on Sundays

That was it for me and clamming but those fresh little necks we're the best I ever had... I can still taste them.

Glad you got out with the boys and got some grub Duff... I'm sure it's one of those experiences they'll remember forever.

Steamed blue claws and fresh clams... Hold the black flies please...

Upper Barney bay/Mantaloking area, have house for season on water. No mosquitoes or green heads to speak of...quite strange. Crabbing has been very good, haven't even had to leave the dock.
