Fishing with Pete is also about time spent around the water. Two YouTube Shorts from the channel feature digging for steamer clams and cooking clams on the beach at Island Beach State Park. They offer another way to explore the channel beyond rod-and-reel fishing.

Digging for steamer clams

“Digging for steamer clams” is a short clip from Pete’s channel. Follow the source link below to watch the original on YouTube. This is a video from the channel archive, not a report of today’s conditions.

Cooking on the beach

“Cooking drunken clams on the beach at Island Beach State Park” continues the beach-day theme. The link below opens the YouTube Short.

Before planning an outing

Check current official New Jersey guidance for your intended area, including licensing, harvest rules, and shellfish water classifications or closures. An older video records a past outing; it isn’t confirmation that an area is open for harvesting today.

The channel is a place to browse, get to know Pete’s interests, and follow along. This website adds a home for longer notes and sourced reports alongside those Shorts.
