It's a fine pastime to stand in July's warm waters and root about for this evening's dinner. My wife insists the best way to hunt for quahogs is with the toes, ooching along the shallows on a likely beach. She has a knack for it that I don't. She also has strong and brave toes.

Andy Nabreski, of On The Water magazine, prefers to use a quahog rake. In this week's Fishing News, Andy offers some good tips for locating quahogs, and what to do with them when you've amassed a little bucketful. There are so many delicious ways to eat them.

Also in the audio above is the weekly round-up of fishing action. Some surprisingly big stripers (for this time of year) continue to push through the Canal. Details in the audio - give it a listen.
