Clamming in Alligator Harbor - 415

This was some of the most fun I've had on a shoot in a while. We could have done a half hour show on the clammers working the waters of Alligator Harbor. A.D. Folks and Tanglefoot have been working the water their entire lives in one way or another. So when we climbed aboard A.D.'s small pontoon boat I knew we we're in good hands. Although I was a little concerned about the boat supporting all of the people on board.

Here's a rundown: Myself, photographer Steve Riggs, production assistant Tyler Bastine, A.D., A.D.'s wife, Tanglefoot and two other friends of A.D.'s who came along for the ride. I wasn't concerned about one of us falling in and getting wet as much as Steve falling overboard with the camera. Our week-long shoot in the "Forgotten Coast" would have turned into a vacation (not that anyone would have minded too much).

Fortunately the only people going into the water were clammers and not the intrepid teevee crew.

Our day on the water was only made better when we got to enjoy a paella dish cooked up by Chef Chris Hastings of the "Hot and Hot Fish Club." We're talking about fresh clams, shrimp, vegetables here...great stuff.
