Got my clamming license here. Wish I had just bought it online. Gentlemen that helped us was extremely rude. He by his own admission knew nothing about clamming regulations and yet he felt perfectly comfortable telling us we didn't know what we were talking about. Told us to go on to the BC fishing website.

Island Outfitter is a great spot I’ve been going to for years. They’ve set me up with plenty of gear for fishing trips, and their ammo selection is really convenient. It’s the perfect place to stop if you’re heading out on a spontaneous range trip (vfgpa) and realize you’re low on ammo. They have a used firearm inventory available too.
Visit on weekday mornings in late spring or early summer to avoid crowds and get the latest seasonal advice.
