Crab season runs from September to April. An easy way to remember is that any month with an \u2018r\u2019 is a good month to catch crabs. However, for crab raking, it usually peaks in late summer and early autumn when the water is the warmest.<\/span><\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tides<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Blue Swimmer Crabs are most active during tidal movement. Most people start raking at low tide and work the incoming tide back toward the shore. I usually head out into the sea before the lowest tide, walk to the furthest walkable parts at the lowest tide while raking for crabs, and start zigzagging towards the shore while raking as the tide is coming in.<\/span><\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Weather Conditions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Weather plays an important role in determining whether it is a good day to go out raking for crabs. A hot sunny day means the crabs could be most active. Moreover, a warm overcast day with no wind is also great as the water would be clear to see through. On windy days, however, I will always cancel the crabbing plans because the water will be too choppy to see beneath the surface.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3201c5a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3201c5a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ef8b422\" data-id=\"ef8b422\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc25e3c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bc25e3c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Where To Rake Blue Swimmer Crabs In South Australia<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3bbb4f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f3bbb4f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Habitats with shallow tidal flats with a mix of sand and weed beds, edges of seagrass meadows, and channels where crabs move with the tide are the best places to find blue swimmer crabs.

The red lines indicate one of the tide channels. These channels serve as a \u2018highway\u2019 for crabs to swim into the shallows, or out into the deep. As tides come in, the crabs will often enter via the channels into areas such as the one circled in blue (estimated), to find mates and to breed. Both the red lines (channels) and the blue-circled areas are good spots for higher chances to find the crabs.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will find the crabs either swimming in the open, or hiding underneath the sand. Spotting swimming crabs are straightforward since they are out in the open.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-565e3ca elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"565e3ca\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-536b573\" data-id=\"536b573\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac34da6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"ac34da6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"width:100%;height:auto;text-align:center;\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height:100%;border:0;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/AP1GczPiIKXNJ_SouzoS5FgH4waBQaK2xNwKtJLx9zPjUF-GJnAuZJK3YqN1uXptLCArultNVQC-lt4alAilqWo0Up_ywtQ21uc-iF1ySYEIyNwGozC8dc0=h480\" alt=\"Crabbing Raking how to find hiding crabs\"\/>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-ecb0fc8\" data-id=\"ecb0fc8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-728759b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"728759b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For crabs hiding under the sand, they can also be quite obvious, as you can see the difference in the color of the sand. As the crabs dig into the sand to cover themselves, they push the deeper, darker sand onto the surface or the sea bed. So, look out for patches of darker sand, and there might be a crab in one of those spots. Moreover, the edges of weed beds and seagrass meadows are good places to look for these dark patches of sand (hence the outline drawn for the blue circle above). Avoid trampling or walking into the seagrass beds, as these are vital habitat for many marine life and feeding ground for birds. As you walk across the sand in the water, you may find some boggy areas, where your legs sink deep into the soft\/muddy sand and struggle to pull them back up; Avoid these parts too, as it will be too slow and draining to walk on them.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-236f1c8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"236f1c8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you have spotted a crab, or potentially one hiding under the sand, how do you catch it?
