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.

Well, I'll have to try that sometime.
We used to go snorkle-diving for lobsters during "mini-season" in south
Florida, but the water was warm, visibility was good and the lobsters
didn't have any claws.
Apparently a lot of guys went out fishing today in the Bay, and some of
them did quite well. Too cold for me to go fishing.
