    Depends on where you are & how good you are at picking. Your time is limited by the tide. Also once you've picked an area you can't return for quite a while & there are a few pickers around.

    id be in the inverin/spiddal area. my dad was saying that he used to pick them like 10/15 years ago and that it would take him 3 days to fill one of the orange bags (i think those bags can hold up to 30kgs). and i say that there are quite a few pickers around. do u know any good areas?

    Do you need a license to pick them?
