I'm reviving this old thread to see if any more info has come to light. Holt, the OP, never came back with an update.


I am wondering if anyone out there has messed with catfish traps in their pond? (..or even in rivers). Seems like this might be a an option for those that get catfish in their pond that become hookshy. I am considering making one and trying it. Do you think the catfish would become wise to it, once one was caught and the others would learn? I am thinking for those big catfish, say over 8# or more that may be lurking in our ponds.

Any info will be appreciated.
