I've caught my fair share but the crabs out here are kinda small. Be careful when hooping for crabs because they have a different opening day than the spiny lobster Dungeness Crab Openers and Closures Through the 2011-2012 Season First Day of Season Last Day of Season Del Norte, Humboldt, and Mendocino Counties Saturday November 6, 2010 Saturday July 30, 2011 Saturday November 5, 2011 Monday, July 30, 2012 All Other Counties Saturday November 6, 2010 Thursday June 30, 2011 Saturday November 5, 2011 Saturday June 30, 2012 Don't get cocky when hoopnetting......its dangerous, its dark and your chance of taking a bath is far greater than that of fishing. The beginning of the season has great weather but as fall ends and winter begins it gets cold, I've been out in 42degree weather and thank God I was prepared. Have ALL your eyes dotted and your tee's crossed, the DFG is no joke and will not give you a chance or a slap on the hand, there is no IFs, ANDs or BUTs in the regulations. ALWAYS measure twice, if you have to measure a third time throw it back.

The crab we get in SoCal are red and yellow rock crabs, not dungeness. They are open year round with a bag limit of 25 and size of 4" across the back. They're tasty but a lot of work...
And then there's spider crabs. I've never kept 'em but a few guys do. I'd just toss them back. Good luck! |

Didn't realize I was looking at the wrong crab....thanks for the correction
 I've kept less than a handful  , I wasn't impressed . Don't get me wrong , crab meat is delicious but to me its not worth the trouble , lobster on the other hand......... P.S. this is one goes on the top of the THINGS TO BRING LIST, don't forget a pen, or two. Make sure its one that can write on a wet report card, I just use a fine point sharpie.
