AMANDA LOMAN / FOR THE STATESMAN JOURNAL The minus tides mean plus days for clamming Fishing Henry Miller Guest columnist So far, there have been about three dozen email requests for the list of mi nus tides for 2019 from readers respon ding to an offer I posted in a Jan. 12 col umn in the Statesman. And while the responses are more a trickle than a gush of late, the offer still stands, especially with beach vacations in the offing, and some of the lowest tides of the year during the peak recrea tion season at the coast. The requests for the list, which fea tures minus tides for Garibaldi (Till amook Bay), Netarts Bay south of Till amook, South Beach on Yaquina Bay and Taft on Siletz Bay, got to be kind of embarrassing, really. Because I converted the scanned document to a PDF in January to save space, I couldn’t edit it. So as of late, I’ve had to put a dis claimer in the email with the attach ment that about a halfyear’s worth of minus tides on the list are in the rear view mirror. It guilted me into editing out the first half of 2019 and rescanning the list to send out with future requests, so the current PDF covers the second half of the year. If you would like a copy, send a request via email to HenryMil lerSJ@gmail.com. The list is on my mind because as mentioned in the May 25 column, the next minus series starts on June 2 dur Expect crowds similar to this when one of the lowest tides of the year falls on July 4. HENRY MILLER/SPECIAL TO THE STATESMAN JOURNAL ing Free Fishing Weekend when no li cense or tags are needed to clam, fish or go crabbing in Oregon. But if you’re willing to shell out 10 clams (puns intended) for an annual resident shellfish license, the best is yet to come. For those of us who are employment impaired (read that retired) as well as those on vacation, the current series hits its low point, in a good way, on June 5. I’m repairing a hole in my waders as we speak in anticipation. But for the gainfully employed, de spair not. While it’s on the wane, the minus se ries continues through June 8, a Satur day. And if you’re taking vacation around July 4, you’re in luck. One of the lowest tide series of the year falls in the mornings between July 3 and 5, bottoming out on the July 4 holiday. Sweet! (but crowded) If you can’t get away during the week, the series wraps up with latemorning, and productive, weekend minus tides on July 6 and 7. But then you would know that ... if you get the list. Let me know. And as always, the usual disclaimers apply. Be sure to call the Oregon Depart ment of Agriculture’s Shellfish Closure Hotline at (800) 4482474 for a record ed message about current clamming and crabbing advisories to avoid a long drive in the event of a shutdown. The information also is available on line at https://www.oregon.gov/ODA/ programs/Food Safety/Shellfish/Pages/ShellfishClo sures.aspx Also, beginning May 20, the Oregon Health Authority began its summer ocean waterquality monitoring pro gram at selected popular recreation sites.

Now, if I can be allowed a minor di gression... Item 2, Homeowner quiz: What’s the quickest way to cut through a con tractorgrade 50foot outdoor extension cord? A: A 13yearold 12amp Task Force electric lawn mower. B: A 15 yearold Homelite electric string trimmer equipped with Shake speare extratough Ugly Line. Actually, that’s a trick question. While either will, and has, done the job, as anyone who’s seen me do yard work knows, the answer is a decadeold Black and Decker Hedgehog 20 hedge trimmer. It beats the other appliances 2to1 with a cleaner and faster, one might say more efficient, severing of the power cord. Although there is no truth to the ru mor that I intentionally shred, chop or cut through the cord to avoid having to do yard work. My thrifty nature being the mother of caution.
