Are you trying to commercially sell them or something? Originally Posted by Johntravis89 There is 2 different high fence. 1 small and one big!

Weld at all together and cover in chicken wire. Make a cone out of chicken wire for the back and another cone to create a second compartment where we would put cottonseed meal cakes for the bait. Of course, anchor it so that bait compartment is upriver and the fish will enter the first cone on the downriver side, and most of them would go through the second cone too. We would anchor them with a concrete block and a length of wire about 10' long. We carried a long piece of concrete rod with a hook in it to catch the wire and pull up the basket to check it. There was no need to mark it and nobody else would ever know it was there. A big flood could sand them in or wash them away, but it was a great system for catching a whole bunch of catfish. All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

Sweetwater Hardware in Sweetwater AL used to sell them. They got the seed from the Gin they owned next door, but I don't think they sell it any more. We bought it from a store in Marion, but I can't remember which one. It was only about 50 years ago; I'm sure they still sell it.
