Where I live we can harvest Dundeness Crab by going out at low tide, I don't have a boat and am not going to use any crab nets or traps. So at low tide I walked the beach and saw nothing. I was talking to the person who said to do it and he said "they are beneath the sand and you need a crab rake". Has anyone ever done this? What do you look for? I can't even find any videos on it they are all about using crab rings. Do they make air holes or something? I only saw dead ones.

Never heard of crab raking. Clam raking, yes. Clams live in the sand and make air holes and you can rake them up in silty sand. But crabs wander in and out with the tides. To catch Dungeness crab by hand, you have to wade in shallow water and grab them. It helps if you have a little mesh box with chicken gizzards in it. You can anchor it to the ground in shallow water and crabs will congregate.

I had never heard of such a thing, but shit, its an actual thing. Looks like you actually have to be in the water though. Wish I would have known about this when I lived in California. Them Dungeness are tasty aren't they?

I'm trying to figure out what you look for, lumps in the sand, air bubbles, just walk around until the swim away?

Yes they are.
