As a kid, we caught them decades ago off the Redondo horseshoe pier. Our crab trap consisted of a bicycle rim with nylon netting and a bridle line for hauling it up on the pier. For bait, a mackerel tied in the middle of the net. When retrieving the trap, the crab's legs fall through the netting making it very difficult for them the get out of the net. Spiders were the most common, Dungeness were less frequent.
