So last week I was anchored up with a few friends off of Sunken Meadow when I witnessed about a dozen or so people clamming as far as I’d say 150-200 yards off of the beach. It is very close to the entrance of the Nissequogue and a favorite spot for jet skiers. Anyhow , you be the judge.

Unfortunately anything boating related on LI is an accident waiting to happen, especially on the weekends . When I boated out of Jones my head was on a constant swivel. When I retired I was fortunate enough to be able to do the Monday to Friday thing for the most part. If it was weekends, it was out at 7:00 and tying up at the slip at noon.

Well my opinion is ,some folks know how prestigious and illusive the Darwin Award is. Go for it !!!!! 😛

Any place thats " a favorite spot for jerk skiers. " isn't even safe if your in a boat. Nakid in any more than 6" of water and consider yourself A Target !. " A know a thing or two, because i've seen a thing or two" 🙂

I believe that those waters are uncertified. No taking of clams.

Don't worry. They have to have taken a boating safety class in order to operate a PWC, so there won't be any accidents.

I suspected that zone had to be an issue being so close to the Nissey. Good find Capt!

Hopefully they don't share the clams. and ER costs are free to the uninsured.
