Dredge heads, for use with a dredging system, include one or more movable members, e.g. grate members, adapted and configured to selectively extend across the opening of the dredge head. The movable member(s) enables a user to clear the dredge head of plugging masses or blockages without having to de-energize the dredge system pump. Also, the movable member(s) enable a user to clear the dredge head of plugging masses or blockages without requiring the user to manually, by using his or her hand, withdraw the plugging masses or blockages from the opening of the suction/dredge heads.
