  • The best time go catching crabs in Oregon is during the fall. Besides crabbing from a boat, you can also just go to the tidal flats can rake for them. I'll show you how to catch them in this video.

    PK, I used to do this also. B U T... With a little twist. I would get about 4 or 5 whole Shad and wrap them around my legs with that GREEN Garden wire. Then walk out to the shallows, and within 30 to 40 seconds those guys would show themselves. Clean-up is smelly, but the end results make up for the slime.

      Low tides in the evening 5-9pm is way better in much shallower water of 1-2 feet, just a small minow net cuz rake is too heavy.

    I watched the video of you guys doing this at night but this one showed me the type of area needed. I just happen to have a spot I would like to try. In our case it would have to be at high tide though or there are a few bays we could do it at.

      Yes, that will work really well. You'd limit out really fast because you can reach places where waders can't go.

      Clams yes. But I would look for minus tides for that. Lower is better. Crabbing is slow now, this is the slower part of the season (best times are in the fall). But who knows.

      Netart Bay, park at Happy Camp public park (or near Terimore motel on Crab ave), walk left one or two blocks, evening low tides 5-9pm is best cuz crabs don't dig down in the sand like during the day because of predators.

    Those aren't anchovies they are candle fish! and they are breeding and laying eggs. One off salmons fav food you will actually see salmon with noses rubbed raw from them plowing the sand when fishing "Banks"(shallow flat regions of bottom below the water surrounded by step drop offs into deep water. Fished with needle fish spoon right behind down rigger ball while pounding down rigger ball making constant contact with bottom imatting salmon routing up candle fish also be sure to hang on you may even end up with a hali!

    Oh no raking the sea bed? Isn't that damaging the sealife environment? Although I love crabs, first time ever today to go crabbing today. Search for crabbing tips and found this one. In Canada though, raking or using any sharp object not allowed. $150 fine.

    Razor Clam hole maybe ?? pour little table salt on the hole & wait a little while 30sec. salt make them come back up to surface, & they squirt water up as they dig deeper down... that is a guess cant see hole very well, but to me looks like razor clam hole.. /ps: -just informed maybe illegal to use salt on clams in your country.. dont do it :) please follow your country & local fishing laws :D
