Once the tide drops in a few hours me and a friend are headed to what we call “oyster cove” with some buckets to fill up. My youngest cousin just graduated from high school a few days ago, and there’s a party for him tonight, so I said I’d bring oysters. Standby for pictures, low tide isn’t until around 10:45 our time

Heck yeah! Good luck

I appreciate that. Where I’m going luck isn’t much of a factor, it’s hard to walk at low tide without stepping on oysters. The clams will make you work harder for them, but that’s not today’s quarry lol

Can’t beat that! Well, have fun and enjoy

I sure miss the ocean, be great to see the pictures

Heading out the door now, hopefully the rain lets up for a while lol

Are those oysters from an oyster farm, or what once was an oyster farm? I know they send oyster seed to Alaska from Washington, but I didn't think they occur naturally in Alaska.

Just saw my first low and high tides this past weekend when my son and I went to Newport Oregon. Saturuday morning when we left for the charter boat it was still dark in the mornibg but Sunday morning I got up and while it was getting light out I could see folks out there walking around getting clams and oysters. As it got light out I could see the ground out there. The tide started coming back around 10 am. I wanted to try some surf fishing but checkout was 11 am and my son wanted to get on the road. The chartere boat was productive though, we got halibut,black sea bass , lingcod ,kelpgreenling and my son caught a shark and flounder that managed to get off the hook at the end, the one guy thought it was a thresher shark, that would have been cool to get in the boat. First time seeing the ocean, it was neat, time went far too fast. Also set some crab pots out on our way out Saturday and checked them on our return trip, we got some fresh Dungenuss out of that. Hope to go back one day, if my health allows it, from what they told me August seems like a good time to go

Nice!!! Post up some pics Brother.

It’s one drainage over from where there used to be an oyster farm. They’ve spread and kept reproducing, so there’s a couple good spots nearby.

Nice haul!!!

Big ones...you going to roast them?, kinda large to get down raw!, lol

Nasty things! Oysters and crab are about the only seafoods I don’t like……throw fish eggs in there too!

These buckets are for cooking, we filled the pockets of our rain gear with shooters lol

Those are some beauties. I love em' raw

Those oysters are huge. The main things I don't like about living in Ohio are the inability to harvest seafood and decent citrus.

Hope you got your oyster shucking knife! On the half shell! Let’s go!!!

I have several. But I’ve found a bar wrench works just fine. Everyone makes the mistake of trying to open them from the front, I jab into the hinge and they pop right open
