Anybody ever ventured to the Camp Pendleton Clam Beds? If so roughly how far of a paddle is it and what have you caught out there?

Thanks

A matter of fact i love clams! Wheres the location to these mysterious clam beds that only you seem to know about? Oh and by the way i dont think many of our local fish population live underground with the clams

I think it is north by the big white radar balls (golf balls). Seems like a long paddle (4+ miles) when the reefs are a little over one.

For what it's worth, I talked to the Game Warden on Pendleton and he said someone caught a huge striper in the basin last weekend.

Thanks for responding, I was reading that it was pretty good spot for fishing. I did not realize it was that far of a paddle. That the info I was looking for!

And excuse my ignorance, I was not aware that clam's lived underground.
I am learning new things everyday!

Thanks

[roadx]

the clam beds are a hugh sandbass spawning grounds. i bet in the near future camp pendelton an imperial beach clam beds will be closed to fishing during spawning season.
