Don't worry the coon will respond to fish. Use fish and you will succeed if you have coons there to trap.
CoontrapperD with your attitude you will catch coons. You have it figured out.

Sheesh that was quick. The coon in front has his belly and a verticle piece of the bank that they were crowding by as they travel the stream bed, bait was slapped there, and trap out front. Can't see the bank by the other coon, but it is a vertical part of the bank that they crowd past. Think "pinch points" in any kind of trapping you do, be it coyote, coon, mink, you name it. Think in those terms and you can adapt to almost all trapping situations you encounter and catch animals.

No problemo Sheriff. Try looking in the water too. If you pay attention you can see "underwater coon trails". Get out there and look! Some locations will just hit you like "Duh!" Make your sets and collect the coon the next day.

Yep, the coons knock it off after the catch, of course, but that's where I slapped it. I mixed it with fish though and added some honey for some extra special sticky icky ness.
I wonder how many coons I could of caught there before it went dead. Coming out of a farm place with a few corn cribs and barns, and a nice stand of trees. Only water source within a half mile or so.
Next year it's getting 2 traps instead of one!

So k9, a coon won't drag a cinderblock off to space? Is it good enough?
