Re: What did you do at your pond today? #525359 Aug 31st a 04:23 PM

Augie	Completed construction of a 1/4" mesh Z trap over the weekend. This one is a 2'x2'x2' cube. There are three 3/4"x3" openings in each funnel. The primary use for this one will be the removal of small BG/HBG and sampling for yoy YP. Two overnight soaks - no bait, in 4' of water - yielded 200+ BG/HBG/RES, half a dozen small crayfish, and a handful of GSH and FHM. The RES go into the pellet training cage. BG/HBG/crayfish/minnows are transferred to the new forage pond. The 2' height is probably overkill, and makes the thing a bit unwieldy to dump, but my thinking was that I'll use a 4' seine as a lead when I get serious about sampling for yoy YP, and a tall trap may be more effective than a short trap when deployed in that manner. If I wanted to catch hand-size BG , I'd use 1/2" mesh, cut the height down to 11.5", and put a single 1"x5" opening in each funnel.
