To all, I emailed some pics and description to Bruce who offered to post it. The trap is I think similar to many traps of the type that have been used for years to trap fish and lobster. I don't use any bait I just put the trap where fish travel. I put it along shore, at the side of one of my docks where fish go in and out from under, or in a narrow channel between two parts of my pond. Some times I trap a certain area out and have to move the trap or wait a week or so for fish to move into the area. They seem to be territorial. I use the trap only for pan fish, can't claim to have ever caught a bass. You have all helped me immensely with your knowledge so I hope this works for some of you. Thanks.

Gotta get back to fishin!
