here is my latest catch.
changing my checking times is paying off.
this one weighted in at 30 pounds
the goal of getting the swans pack to the pond has been acheived....
I built new bait cages to hold the bait. this time I added a door not just an opening. I found on the last bait cage when I pulled the trap that removing the bait not only was it smelly after sitting on the lake a few days removing it was nearly imposible.
the new bait cages has a 5 inch square door that I wired shut with a hog ring once it is filled so now when I want to empty it all I need do is clip the hog ring with my cutters, one snip and the old bait is in the water.... no bother [cool]
In the attahment below is another picture of my small trap, same one as in the earlier post only with better light.
