I'd use the live trap, camo it so it looks like a hollow "something", but leave both ends open so they can see thru. Fish might work, or a live mouse in a smaller cage. Have you looked at any of the trapping supply houses for "mink lure"?
Mink lure #1 and mink lure #2

In your area, there should be some local store that has it. I'll bring a copy of fur-Fish-Game magazine when I drop off the smallie - good reference material for trapping supplies.
