An apparatus for dredging bottom dwelling seafood such as oysters is comprised of a collecting basket pivotally carried by a frame, the basket having a pair of parallel arms rigidly fixed thereto. A pair of upright standards are mounted adjacent the edge of a boat, and each standard contains an arm receiving groove which is configured to receive the arms and pivot the basket upwardly about an axis through the arms to empty the contents of the basket. A spring loaded member slows movement of the basket as it pivots for more smoothly emptying the contents. The spring loaded member also stores potential energy for propelling the basket back into the water after it has been emptied.
