This thread made me go out and buy a trap today, I followed all of the advice I have read. I will check it in the morning and see what I get. I don't have a dog so I used bread. Hope it works. Could only find a black trap, I may have to paint it.
The black traps work fine Ute.

I checked at Wallys, KTP and at the big C and that is all I could find. I am borrowing a galvanized one tomorrow and placing them a couple feet apart and see what the difference is. I am guessing they get a bum dope because they are sold by the bib C. I just want to catch some bait, i don't care how i get it.

mi just picked up a silver one at cabelas today, they just got a large shipment in so i lucked out
just got my trap no clue where to put it tho
that would be a good start lol
Went out to check my trap this morning and broke through up to my calf and decided that that trap was going to sit for a couple of days. It is 47 degrees and it apears to have melted of a lot of ice. I had my 2 borrowed galvanized traps and set them closer to the shore where I would not have to ge on the ice to check it. I may need to take someone lighter back with me tomorrow.
i've seen some spots that look good, but they are in populated areas and im afraid they might get stolen.
Anybody try painting the black traps white or silver to see if that works any better?
Why? The black ones work just fine!!
I always use a long rope on mine for that reason
