if its not "on" the bottom the crabs usually wont swim up after it unless they already know its there like if you pulled it away from them then they will swim back and sometimes catch it as it falls.

If you on a public beach there is no limit. Just go to Holley beach and fish them off a palon. get 2 poles about 8-10' long, string a piece of rope between the 2 of them and of that rope tie some string every 10-15 or so with piece of leg quarter on the end. Pull it in slow andand scoop the crabs off with a net. This time of year is killer for crabs on the beach in Grand Isle, I'm not familiar with Holley Beach but it's prbably close to the same.

are there any other special restrictions in PAC area for crabbing?
any restricted areas or zones to avoid going into?
anything besides a lifetime fishing license needed? like a gear license or anything (I don't think a trotline is considered having gear is it?)
thanks for the info, I plan to go try crabbing there this week.
im not using poles but I have anchors and floats on each end of the line so I idle along the line lifting and dipping as I go like they do up north for crab trotlines
