I may be wrong but I dont think you need the shell fish license for crab ,I belive thats for clams. Also if you use a commercial pot ( no more than 2 Maryland style ) you'll need a recreational crab license the pots need tags. And there are added restrictions Depending on where your crabbing with them.(terapin excluder ring )
Dept of fish and game has all the info
Click on the pdf file below for the crab regs
Hope this helps

Yeah, so far, crabbing is still free. Only exception to this is crab pots. Give it time though... rgmn
Shellfish license is for clams, etc...
