"I fish out of the Sheepshead Bay area, so I cannot offer you exact locations.
To catch rock crabs effectively you need to be on a open ocean beach, or very close to one, back bay areas do not usually hold these crabs.
Target water depths of 12-18 feet.
If you can safely anchor near a jetty, that is a good spot to try, you do not have to be close, 200-500 yards away is good. You can use blue claw hotel style traps, but they have a tendency to get stolen if left for any length of time.
The ring traps work well, you can see them in some of my photos. "
I cut and pasted this from another site so I gotta give credit to Jack HJ
