Crab season 20/21

I'm not sure but I think I read that we have to have a 3x5 inch red trailer float 3 feet or less attached to the 11 inch red and white Float. Is this true?

I read earlier in the year that the addition of a trailer buoy was a proposed change that would be considered in January - I can't find where I saw that, but I didn't see anything in the regs about this being adopted. Anyone else?

There were several recommendations.  I think it came out of a FMP working group, I'd have to go back and find it, but your recollection jives with mine.  They wanted a standard color scheme for recreational crabbing so the buoys could be immediately identified as recreational. They also talked about limiting the number of pots per recreational crabber to 10 each.  Both of these restrictions are in place elsewhere on the west coast, they aren't exactly reinventing the wheel.  It's all intended to aid with reducing whale entanglements and aid enforcement.

Rigging improved Danielson harness......
The standard Danielson harness is 4 pt, which raises and lowers the trap parallel to the water surface. This is to ensure the trap lands right side up, but also presents a lot of resistance hauling the trap up.
I'm thinking a 2-point harness (as seen on Deadliest Catch), would be easier to haul up and with current and a weighted trap it should be possible to drop the  trap reliably on the bottom. 
Anyone tried this before and have advice to share?

It's a common technique.  When dropping traps, you simply ensure that you are dropping them in an orientation where they will fall onto their bottom as you drift along with the current.

Not sure if it was mentioned yet. I run two weighted rods. About 10lbs or so for current and big swells so my pots dont walk to far from where i positioned them and marked on my gps.
