  • Raking for Blue Swimmer Crabs at Port Parham (Crabbing) was heaps of fun! Port Parham is about an hour's drive from Adelaide and is famous for its blue swimmer crabs and is a great spot for crabbing. We spent around an hour one spring morning raking there in shallow water at low tide with Beau, who was an experienced crab raker. We had never been raking for blue swimmer crabs (crabbing) before and Beau showed us exactly what to do. In about an hour and a half we had caught just over twenty 'keepers'. It was so easy! Probably the hardest part was not getting nipped by the crabs running around in the water. All that you need to crab this way is a rake, a plastic tub attached to a rope (to tie around your waist), a crab measurer and fishing shoes or old sneakers to protect your feet. If the weather is warm you also need an ice slurry in the tub to keep them fresh. When we went raking it was a cool day so we put our crabs on ice in our esky when we got back to the car. We made an Asian noodle dish with our crabs, but have also enjoyed them in a pasta sauce or steamed whole and eaten straight from the shell. Blue Swimmer Crabs are delicious, and raking is a very relaxing way of crabbing. Thanks Beau for being such a great teacher!

    Hi everyone, Please note that we have had feedback from a Subscriber that he was advised the measurer is not allowed to go over the crab to be legal. We dive have one where the measurer just slipped over with 'no wriggle room' ... so perhaps that one was not entirely a legal catch?🤔

      @@fishingsister Yes we go crabbing, raking but more nets off of a jetty, usually Wallaroo but locally Adelaide in the warmer months, I personally think Sand Crabs taste better. Family was crabbing last weekend, did okay, had a feed. 👍

    They are lots of fun to catch, by the way that dream you walked around at the beginning of your video would have had quite a few razor shells too.and if your ever there again a good tip is use the local food like razor shells for whiting, if you have a rod with you.
