Wes,

Might want to post this on the main board or the trapping only board. Best bet is to just use your coon set and add sardines to the bait instead of marshmalows. I don't trap coon and they don't have any here, but have seen that on the main board.

Wes,
I would try a pocket or cubby set right near the hole you can put a small coni over the pocket or cubby entrance, if legal, since you have ice and probably wont be able to drown the mink stick the fish in the back of the cubby or pocket
