NotesAt the time of this report, there was a daily limit of 36 cockle clams for recreational clammers. A policeman had been informing Netarts Bay commercial clammers taking cockles for crab bait that they were violating the law. The Shellfish Program was consulted and backed the commercial clammers. "If the legal authorities deem section 83-712 void in entirity then action should be taken to allow the use of cockles as crab bait since it was not the intent to change this in Netarts Bay, the only place affected."
