Another question about traps. If I'm trying to catch perch, do I need the trap to be on the bottom, or floating. I guess if I made one out of pvc I'd have a little more trouble getting it on the bottom. I'm thinking I need a little bit bigger trap. Not necessarily a 4' x 4', but at least 2 or 3 feet wide. Might need the wings or whatever they are called to help direct fish.
Which leads to last question. Or two. If the best placement is on the bottom what depth water should I set it in? Or, should I set it up near the structures I've placed. They are in 8 to 10 foot depth, but almost come to surface. (Cedar trees, and artificial trees.)
Thanks Jeff
12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs) I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023.
