Nice bass - those clams seem to work - there are clams where I dig my rag, don't know if they are the same as your gapers but must give them a go the next time I find them.
A few months ago on the Cork beach I usually fish I had a dozen peelers - used the crab on one rod and lug on the other. I got five bass that night, all on the lug, not a touch on the crab. That's the last time I bothered using crab.

kool mam , clams

Nice Bass Seanie

There are two types of clams there; the small ones with the serrated edges and bigger oval shaped ones with dark shells.
They look identical to the one in the attached photo that I "borrowed" from another website.
