Yeah I would try the trap idea. Or just manage to catch them out and about in the middle of the night and be quick with a net.

No need for a commercial trap to catch a crab. Take a piece of shrimp and put it in a regular GLASS cup, the taller and smoother the better. Set it as upright as possible under the edge of a rock and leave it overnight. Crabs fall in, can't get out
