I have always done the best with female horseshoe crabs, but I too think you might need a permit now a days. Back when I use to use them alot I would freeze my horseshoe crabs for when I needed them, since they are easyer to find in the eary spring....Last year since I wasn't sure about needing to use a permit I used bacon in my traps and it worked well. I use bacon to fish for white cats and usually catch about a dozen to two dozen eels in a given night on hook & line so it works well just a little pricy, but then again so are eels.
