Report Details
very much sand in Cove Beach at this 0.3 low tide. Trying for razor clams, I mistook the little bubble when I tapped the dimple in the wet sand and scooped up a large female crab with bright red egg sack (sponge).This happened 5 times! No razor clams. (one person had one clam)In each case I could return the crab unharmed, and she quickly dug herself back in.

The wrack line contained small (2-4") crab casings, clam shells and broken sand dollars. There was a small land slide near a house drain line - see picture. The sand level was low on the north end of mile 307 which leaves the rocks uncovered.
