No problem Mr. Marchewka!
This was a set I learned from k9. on here, not my invention. I only set these on that particular style of culverts. They are cement squares, no place to stake a trap in them. I toss the blocks with a length of wire attached, into the creek/water just above the cement prior to season, then this set is easilly constructed.
I prefer the blocks with three holes like in that picture. I set the block, on end, up against the wall of the culvert with the holes facing out from the wall, wire my trap to the block and bait the top hole in the block. Then I set the trap in front of the block. 1 1/2 coils set best on the cement but if there is some sediment in there all the better to stabilize your trap. I try to put these back under the road out of site in most locations and I find the coons don't normally drag the block very far. They are usually just setting on top of it like in the picture.

I make a fish based bait called ADC's Raccoon Payback that works great in these PVC sets. It's what I use all year long in them. PM if you want to buy some before the ITA. I'm sure I'll sell out there.

I don't plug the pipes with anything but my bait. It won't slide down into the pipe. I just scoop the pipe into the bait jar and pack the end full as I can get it. The size of the pipe seems to make no difference in effectiveness so I choose a 1/2 - 3/4" pipe to save on bait a little.
Smileybrown, no I do not prebait.
waynecountyboy, I put the trap about 4" back from the opening of the pipe, generally gets them by the front foot. IF I set in deeper water say 8" deep or so them I pull the trap back a couple inches and target a back foot since their front feet barely can reach.

I prefer the blocks with three holes like in that picture. I set the block, on end, up against the wall of the culvert with the holes facing out from the wall, wire my trap to the block and bait the top hole in the block. Then I set the trap in front of the block. 1 1/2 coils set best on the cement but if there is some sediment in there all the better to stabilize your trap. I try to put these back under the road out of site in most locations and I find the coons don't normally drag the block very far. They are usually just setting on top of it like in the picture.

If there isn't any sediment in the box culvert, you can dig a piece of sod off the bank and place in the water next to the block. Put it grass side down and stabilize trap on the soil side. I know ADC knows this, but throwing it out there for others.

I know ADC knows this, but throwing it out there for others. Good advice! I do know about that trick but its too time consuming for me personally. If you notice all my coon sets can be made in about a minute or less (except pocket sets, which were made for mink in the first place) so I just toss the trap down right on the cement. lol It'll still work most of the time if you put a real good bait in the block. The sod would help though if you got it handy and have the time. ~ADC~
