Field Notes

Use hard clam as a natural bait for bottom-oriented fishing where clams are a common food source. Present it on a hook or rig appropriate for the target species and fish the area with current or structure where baitfish and shellfish activity is high.

Pros

  • Natural shellfish bait with strong scent
  • Effective for species that key in on clams/bivalves

Cons

  • Can be messy and may require frequent re-baiting
  • Best results depend on local shellfish availability
