Good luck. You should have a few this AM. Should have but didn't. Not a single coon catch. It was late yesterday evening when I got them all set. Maybe tonight I'll have some catches. If not, I'm going to get something strong and fishy smelling to bait with other than the marshmallow and coon candy.

Marshmallows work just fine. Damn messing with those nasty sardines. Try getting you some vanilla extract from dollar general $1 a bottle and pour a lil of that over your bait.

While your at Dollar Tree, look for the yellow flip top bottle of molasses. Pour a little up high on the tree near the trap.
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

Once ants get active switch to dry dog food. Beneful works really well.

If not, I'm going to get something strong and fishy smelling to bait with other than the marshmallow and coon candy. sardines and creek banks coons walk creek banks I wiped out 12 last week on 6 traps on creek banks with sardines lokk for places they are likely to cross they dont like to get wet anymore than we do, if it looks like a good spot for you to cross set a trap, also sand bars on creek bends.

yall over think this to much fish+ next to water = coon food and it smells, also dab some on the rim of trap so they get a little taste first I mix my sardines with mackeral and enough cooking oil to make a canned cat food consistent paste apply with butter knife.

Dealing with dead fish stinks too bad when I can catch them much easier.

I've got 4 traps set down along the creek that runs through my place. I've got 4 set all along a big ditch that runs through my pasture and I've got 4 set in the woods behind my barn. All are baited with marshmallows. No coons again this morning. I put sardines in 6 of the 12 traps when I checked them earlier today. We will see if that makes a difference tomorrow.

Got 3 today on the sardines. Re-baited all 12 traps with a concoction of mackerel, sardines and cooking oil. Mixed up into a paste. Stank like you wouldn't believe. Never smelled mackerel until today. I think it is worse than the sardines. Sadie had a ball getting after the coons. She barked herself into a slobbering frenzy.

I'm catching coons and possums now on shelled corn.
Think I've got 10 coons and 7 possums as of Sunday afternoon.
Caught 3 field rats and had one coon chew his foot off overnight.
Bet that one will be hard to catch again.
