In the swamp creek ect there are many natural rests, stumps ,old logs and what not. I put them as far off shore as I can wade and pile sea weed on top and apple for bait. Biggest problem was rough water ,tips them over or washes them up on the shore. I will try and get some pics.

You know this is the SOS if you trap a certain way and it works for you and its legal in your state please trap your way.If its deemed not so good by a CO it does not cost the rest one us one dime. Most states want the revenue and could care less why there getting it.
