My family thought it would be fun to go crab fishing during the summer. Does anyone know where to go? We live in Southern California. My parents are mostly wanting to go to reservoirs that have crabs of course. But beaches would be great too. We're planning on using chicken as bait. This will the first time we'll go fishing for crabs. Any advice would also be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

Unless they've changed the rules recently, California fish and game rules prevent the taking of crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, etc) by hook and line. Only methods of legal capture that immediately come to mind are trapping/netting and by hand.
California law also dictates a maximum trap size, so I'd check the regulations before you go out. As for locations, rocky structure in harbors are probably your best first spot to try.

Crabs like pier structure. Here are list of SoCali piers.
