Slat Traps
 

Found a guy selling cypress, poplar, and oak slat traps. Gonna pick up a few to set with the kids. Any of you guys ever fish with these, if so any tips or trick to catch more? I'm curious to see them in action.

Where'd you find em and how much? We used to build our own but its been so long we have forgot how to build em.

Hey talk to Bobby at the store..I think he usually sets some around the house, or at least knows somebody around the house that does.

Fellow on Cajun swap shop. Ill PM you the name Merc.

we used to fish them years ago in the amite river.
you'll probably have to weight them down with a couple of bricks until they get a good water soaking. baited them with cotton seed cake or stinky cheese.
usually caught pretty good this time of year after a heavy rain.

Fished them allot growing up, stinky cheese packed in the corners ...

Post some results !!!
