Dave's video is worth watching.

With the slap set I do have my fair share of flipped traps. I imagine a lot of it is the coon fiddling his way up looking for the smell of the food source and using his front paws. moving loose things. Even a decently bedded trap can get coon flipped.

Deeper water not such a big deal, shallower water it does happen. Sandy or rocky bottoms are the worst, muddy bottoms not so much of a problem.

I like to use fish, alot of times you'll snag a mink or two in pockets using fish.

This is a set I learned from Itrap for water sets for coon where there aren't any banks or vertical surfaces to put a pocket or a smear set. I caught a ton of coons in it one year in a drainage ditch that was almost dry with wide open flat spaces between the water and the vertical banks. I caught a lot of doubles.

Picture a baseball diamond with home plate, first, second, and third bases. Home plate is right at the water's edge. Put a stick in at home plate and each of the bases. Home plate, and first and third base sticks are for guides. Put a smear bait on 2nd base stick. Itrap told me to use a fish head, but I had a lot of luck with a smear bait made out of marshmallow paste, vanilla, anise, and honey. Drive the 2nd base stick in deep and they'll keep working it because it is too sticky to get off. Put a trap between home and 1st, and between home and third. Put them on drowners that angle out to guide the coon away from 2nd base, in left and right field, if you will. This setup takes less time to make than 2 pockets on drowners, and I can't tell you how many times I've caught doubles on it. I bet if I put a trap right in front of 2nd base, where the bait is, I could get triples pretty regular.
