look up figure 8 fish traps on utube. I have made a couple and they do catch a lot of fish. May need to adjust opening size for the size of fish you want to catch. I made the opening 1 inch by 3 inches and have caught 4 to 5 inch bullheads and 3 to 4 inch green sunfish baited with dog food. Make sure your openings are 2 to 3 inches away from the top and bottom. These traps are not for public waters!!!

61 acre water shed lake. bass, channel cat, black crappie, wiper, walleye, redear sunfish, blue catfish and bluegill. To many bullhead and common carp
