(c) Crab traps:
(1) Crab traps shall have at least two rigid circular openings of not less than four and one-quarter
inches inside diameter so constructed that the lowest portion of each opening is no lower than five
inches from the top of the trap.
(2) Starting August 1, 2016, crab traps shall contain at least one destruct device of a single strand
of untreated cotton twine size No. 120 or less that creates an unobstructed escape opening in the top
or upper half of the trap of at least five inches in diameter when the destruct attachment material
corrodes or fails.
(3) Starting August 1, 2016, every crab trap except those used under authority of subsection 29.85(a)
(5) of these regulations shall be marked with a buoy. Each buoy shall be legibly marked to identify the
operator’s GO ID number as stated on his/her sport fishing license.
(4) Starting August 1, 2016, crab traps shall not be deployed and used in ocean waters seven days
prior to the opening of the Dungeness crab season.

I'm going to try and link the Ocean regs PDF here and see if it works.

When I click on the link below it wants to download itself to my desktop where I end up with a copy of the regs at my finger tips.

CDFW just posted that Dungeness crabs are now open statewide for sport fishery. Next week they will open for commercial. Not a big deal, as the only closure was inside Humbolt Bay, I think.
