Hi Gidds,
I'm from RI and have been just about everywhere lobstering and quahogging. I used to teach in the URI diving program at GSO many moons ago.
Quahogging is pretty easy as long as you have a soft bottom,look for siphon holes and just fan your hands back and forth until you see shell then pull them out. Quahogs will be just about everywhere on the North shore of Jamestown I dug them from between rocks I couldn't figure how they fit. So the simple rule of 'hoggin is the smaller the better and all the large ones do for you (they still make a nice chowda)is give you a bad back. Happy 'hoggin
