You can only catch clams during daylight hours, and the rate of finding a clam is the same as finding an eel (about 1 in 15). I usually fish until I have collected 20-30 eels, which takes 2 to 3 hours (so about 10 eels or clams per hour). I until recently had 5 Golden Pearls in the bank, until I gave them away for Mooncloth robes and some runed arcanite rods. Killing Turtles or Naga seems to yield a better drop rate on Big-Mouth Clams, so I would surmise that it would have a better chance to get the pearls you seek. Of course, fishing involves no searching or competition with farmers for your prey.

It's been my experience that about one in five to ten clams will have a pearl with Golden Pearls being about 1/100 clams.
