Find a good shallow spot in a creek about two inches deep and set your trap in the water about 6-8 inches from the bank. then punch a 8inch hole in the bank of the creek in front of your trap angled down away from the trap. Then all you have to do is drop your bait in to the hole you made. I have always used the catfish dough bait you get in the premade balls ( blood and crawfish works good.) be sure to place some large leaves on top of the trap to help hide it. Trapperman.com has some really good information you might want to look at also.

How does this catch a coon if the trap is in the water 6-8 inches from the bank and your bait is in a hole 8 inches deep on the bank? I believe you I am just wondering.
