Never been fishing for dungeness crabs. Rod & reel, flyrod or ...surely
not crabpots.
On the off chance you're serious, the litte buggers can actually be
reeled in...using a stinky piece of chicken or other bait tied to a
line. They're so stubborn "they won't let go to save their lives." You
can only do this in shallow water since you have to be able to see them
to dangle the bait.
Otherwise it's a crabpot.
Even crabs have their seasons.
I have Danielsen crabpots. But they do catch them with a reel and rod. Is
a little bait box with snare loops off the pot. Cast out, let set, reel in.
Biggest crab I ever caught was surf fishng and the bugger hung on lone
enough to be dinner.
