I love seafood, love to eat it, want to catch it, clean it and eat it. I love lobster, clams and mussels. Any tips? I'm so inexperienced that it's not funny. I'm even afraid to take a fish off the hook. I've never had one on a hook. I wouldn't know the first thing to do. I don't have anyone around who could teach me. Please help.

Don't eat freshly harvested shellfish from Nassau County waters, and western Suffolk. The water is not clean enough.

Mussels are pretty easy to catch as they are affixed to rocks. You wait for very low tide and pry them off the rocks. Just make sure they are alive by taping on the shell or squirting fresh water on them. They should close.
You dig clams with a shovel and/or a rake, again at low tide.
Go to a good pro-shop and they will help you select gear and point you in the right direction. Be careful though. If you get the feeling they are trying to sell you the most expensive stuff leave and try another place. Wal-mart can be helpful also.

they are probably just goofing around, making forts, sharpening sticks, and stuff. or their just throwing their fish back. or maybe they aren't patient with fishing, and the take the pole out of the water every other seconds. hows about next time you go along with them. if they tell you to go back, then somethin fishy is goin on (haha lol). but if you go there with them and they fish, and they catch fish, then somethin fishy is goin on, think about it, how come they catch fish no that you are there, and not all the other days. now i honestly think they are doing somethin weird and you have to be onto them, unless you go and fish with them and they really dont catch any fish.
