Chained the cages tightly to the dock near their very obvious toilet.
Used a can of sardines and metal fishing flashers tied to the top of the cage. Clam juice, oyster juice and a little bit of Cavens Otter Lure Supreme poured into a tin foil cup behind the pan...
Had one in the 16X16X42 cage today

Always wondered how they act if your that close to one live, especially in a cage. Was it trying to destroy the cage and tear you apart or just sitting there like a cat? :dunno:

sweet catch! Is that a full size adult. I have only ever seen a few of them in person.
Not quite full size. Still somewhat of a juvenile I'd say
Aww, he otter know better than to fall for that! I know, that pun doesn't hold water around here.... I'll put it back in the cage, but now I'm trapped without a better pun.
.....I'll see myself out....
Hmm...I think u been sniffin too much Cavens Gusto
Nice work :tup: :tup:

Yup, I plan on keeping cages there for a while.
Nice!

Mostly just trying to get out of the cage., but they'll get pretty feisty when picking up the trap...also noisy at times. Most of my other otters were in the swim thrus you built...it took a while to get a job where a land set was the best option

Nice work. What are you using for bait?
Can of sardines cracked half way open & wired to the top of the cage behind the pan (don't have any conibear trigger cages large/strong enough for this job or id be using em), make urself a tin foil cup and put it behind the pan.. pour some clam juice in it. Then a little bit of Cavens Otter Lure Supreme behind the pan. Pour a very small amount of sardine juice and clam juice at the entrance of the trap and make a faint stream of juices down towards the pan to lead them in, but not too much so they don't get enough of what they want and stop right there :chuckle:
For this setup I had some shiny silver fishing flashers wired up in the top behind the pan to capitalize on their curiousity (tin foil cup does the same)....I have also used golf balls sitting on a small pile of dead grass to look like some eggs in a nest.

Are you tanning them after catching them or using them for bait?
They will be getting tanned
