I am wondering this myself I know they sell the long shrimp nets but they are expensive I recently just bought one of the cheap little circle crab nets from walmart and tied rope to it to catch them it works OK but definitely don't have much accuracy with it especially with wind but it does work. Tied egg weights to it to help it against wind

The man I saw crabbing Friday had simple folding crab traps which he checked every half hour or so. The pier was close to water level unlike SSP and NSP.

Tied egg weights to it to help it against wind I have one of those as well. I haven't tried it yet, but I did pick up some 8 oz sinkers to use with it.

Are the crabs still flushing well at the pier? No. I was out there last Monday and did not see any flushing. Easiest way to tell is drive pass the NSP at night on strong outgoing tide and if you see alot of headlamp, then yes they are flushing. If you do not see a lot of people with headlamp then no.
