One pot in the rocks off a point, two in the weeds. All about 10’ of water. Zero takers…might had to dedicate to some overnight soaks. Also think I need to weight the traps down with rocks inside. Make sure they’re not moving around on the bottom at all.

You see a lot hiding under rocks and I think that makes it misleading as to where they are hangin gout in abundance. Near the mouth of the Columbia we always had really good results with a trap line along a muddy bank and salmon heads. They burrow into the soft mud of the bank to nest. I think they can also survive in the mud if water levels drop as well.

Amazon had Frabil traps for $8.99, limit 3
I see it jumped up a couple bux, still a good deal

I save my perch heads and carcasses from ice fishing and freeze them up for crawfishin
Phillip.beaudry:
where do you find traps that are compliant with Washington laws? or do you?
KFhunter:
don't use the clip to close the trap, instead tie the trap together at the top with a piece of rot line
the bottom of the trap is solid and hooks in prongs, the top clam shells together and you secure it with the clip (normally) but in WA what you do is replace the clip with sisal twine (rot line) then if the trap is lost the line rots and the trap falls apart
