Good question ? You will need a crab gauge and a license. Kinda a gray area since not all the lobster rules apply.
I plan on hooping this off season, maybe 1 or 2 hoops for crab while fishing with longer soaks.

Yes the same gauge you use for bugs, you flip the other side and it's what you use for crab. I believe crab are 35 per day or something stupid like that...

35 per day i agree for rock or dungeness but not Spider I believe spider are unlimited since they are not part of the "CANCER" genus

I was wondering the same question. So gage and license required, and is there a season or is it year round?

[fisherman from long beach]
