Was wondering if setting hoop nets during day (mostly the morning) will catch Rock crabs? Have a friend who wants to go rockfishing(AM) and catch crabs in the evening but it would be nice if we can do both at the same time.

Many years ago as a kid we would catch rock and spider crabs off the Redondo Horseshoe pier during the day using a net on a bicycle frame. Diehard fishing has a video where he does what you are proposing.

Yes, you can catch rock crabs during day.

RIP Tony has a video of that.

Just make sure you don't keep any by-catch fish or lobster.

Pretty cool to have a GoPro watching -- the youtube channel lives, RIP Tony.
