Otherwise, you can use chain to hang it from the dock just above water level. No bait needed. Last edited by TNADC; 03/14/24 02:56 PM. Reason: meant to say comstock not otter

What are you guys using for sets? How long is it taking? What do you do differently if you are not catching? Are you using lure? Are you introducing sent from elsewhere? Positive ore open entry sets? Food? Shiny stuff? A rubber Duck? Thanks in advance Slightly used Shoes 4 sale……………

Great idea that I will try on my next job. Did have one question. I understand that it's kind of a blind set, I guess. They just climb onto the trap if placed below the water, but not submerged of course. But have you tried putting either an otter lure or beaver castor on a Y stick stuck thru the mesh of the Comstock trap? Might not be necessary but thought it might possibly expedite the process. At least hopefully. Thanks for all the help guys!
