Those rays are amazing. I was able to go diving with them at night. If you gather enough lights and shine them together in the water column you attract plankton and then the big 20 foot rays. Its really cool. Love the pictures.

Welcome. Nice pictures.

I do not have a Speardiver suit but I do have a 5mm open cell omer. I dove Northern california in 48 degree waters and was comfortable enough to shoot some fish and get a limit of abalone. I don't remember how much time I spent in the water but I remembered being ok. If I where to live in Norcal I would probably buy a 7mm for a little more comfort in the winter and more time overall in the kelp beds.

Went out yesterday in search of some fish off of a beach dive and found 2 pismo clams but they where short. Didn't find any others but at least I was able to grab a few. I'm closing in on them.

Lol. I figured Joe meant closest.
Oops. Drinks must not have worn off of me this morning.

I think it's a good thing too.

Yeah you would have better luck getting getting put on Wsb then pismo or scallop spotz
The spots I have found I wouldn't even share with my closet dive buddy's
Good luck .. Cheers .. Joe
I think I have found a spot from my research but I need the conditions to be right. I am hoping for some tips like finding them in the sand (What to look for) as opposed to just digging around. And maybe some info on what is used to drag them around once caught or any tid bit of information. I figured their is a lot of experience among the members here and could learn something with out having someone give up a spot. I am willing to put in the research and burn some gas and swim a distance to find them. But maybe I'm over analyzing clam digging?

Yup same ones.
They are about six inches deep. A little hand rake works great in locating them. If you see water being shot up into the air that is most likely a clam. Minimum size of 1.5 inches and a limit of 50.Here is an interesting video on clamming that might help.

I used them once for bat rays at night in Morro Bay off a canoe. It made for a techno light show in the dark when the ray started swimming circles around us. You should try it and see what happens.
