AK SalmonBear AK Fish Trap Mod For Anchoring

[FG Steve]

I have been noodling on how to secure my AK Fish Trap, and when my HT Ice Rigger arrived, I noticed the screw eye on the back of the plank.  So I adapted the HT idea, but with a longer, slightly larger, and stainless screw eye.  On the Ice Rigger, if I adjust the pole holder I have room to screw in an Eskimo ice anchor.  The longer screw eye on the Fish Trap allows me to use one there, too.

I'm pleased with the result:

Something fun to do while watching the football game today.

Looks good Steve. How exactly does that thing work? Hopefully the football boys will get their offense going soon!

 Looks like a nightmare for a lake trout.  Have you had that thing on the ice yet? Can’t win football games kicking long field goals and missing them.

I played with it last season, but I haven't caught anything on it yet.  Not really the Fish Trap's fault, because I have had fish on it a few times when I was already fighting a nice fish on the other side of the spread.
