Best Tide State to Fish Port Parham (crab flats)
Tide first, wind second, water clarity third. A big low exposes a kilometre of workable flat and a small one exposes a disappointment, so the range on the day matters more than anything else on this page. Dodge tides are the trips to cancel outright, since the gulf's tidal movement nearly stops around the neaps. Wind spoils the day twice, first by chopping the surface until the dark sand patches vanish and then by hiding whatever is under your feet. Warm, still, clear water has the crabs most active, which is why late summer and early autumn are the peak weeks rather than the middle of spring. An overcast, windless day is quietly excellent because the glare drops off the water. From about May to September the blue swimmers thin out and sand crabs take their place.
