You can drop them unbaited but if there is bait you are in pursuit.

A DF&G officer I spoke with told me this quite simply, If the lobster net is in the water...your fishing ...period....
 Kinda like salmon fishing....the date is the date...and not a minute eariler... remember the State is BROKE and they need the money. so if you want to give a bonus check  unlees you want to donate....then hell... send me the cash   :lobs ter:

If you drop early, baited or unbaited, you're much more likely to get DFG hassels. I won't chance it to be honest, it dont even thing dropping unbaited nets before midnight Oct 1st is legal.

Technically you can say you are fishing for crab and you are legal. It is all a big hassle though and not worth it, i wouldnt drop before midnight personally.
Its kind of like Open Carry on Firearms. I used to open carry. Totally legal to carry with the firearm completely exposed. It however draws attention and eventually the hassle of uneducated officers I had to quote penal code to drove me to stop. Is it worth it to you to risk having to deal with it over a couple minutes?
