Chicken leg with some meat on it. And you gotta hang it in middle of the trap where they have to crawl in to get it and can’t grab it from the outside.

Traps? We used to just seine the ditches in south Ga. Great fish bait for Warmouth Perch in the Okefenokee.

It’s in the Sunfish family. Locally, some folks call them the goggle eye perch, strawberry perch, molly. Picture the head of a largemouth bass on the body of a crappie or large shell cracker. The cypress knots of the Okefenokee are their favorite haunts. I think the world record is just under 2.5 lbs.

Oh, a goggle eye. Gotcha.
I've just never heard them called perch, which is what I associate with northern panfish.
Caught a goggle eye the other evening when it hit a 4-inch swimbait. They're fun.

I made my own out of Hardware Cloth wire that I bought from Lowes. Also used those little cage clips to build it with. For attaching the funnels I just used plastic wire ties. I made small bait boxes from the same hardware cloth to hang about center ways in the trap. I made escape proof ends from the hardware cloth and installed on the point of the funnels as well. I found that many will escape after eating their fill if the point end of the funnel is just left bare. For bait all I use is shad that I net from the river. It is super oily and will carry through the water for along distance.
I've had great success in the river swamp down here in my area through the years. I've had them for many years and learned about making them from a member that was here some years ago and also from an old website that I had stumbled across. I catch enough to eat and fish with whenever I get at it.

I catch enough to eat and fish with whenever I get at it. Same way we make them. Set my brother's traps out yesterday, will pick them up in the morning. We baited with Red Horse suckers and chicken, this time.

Did pretty good on that set. 18 traps brought an average of about a couple dozen per trap. Would've been more but we had a half dozen or so that sirens got into, and I'm sure they ate a bunch before they croaked. Didn't seem to be much difference between the Red Horse and the chicken...both were good producers, this trip.
