I have only twice had small ones stuck in a hole and then I still had 3 other holes they could use. Big advantage to be able to hide the traps underwater and not have them stolen or tampered with. Floating net traps last me maybe 4 nights if I am lucky before they are slit open by "fishermen". I have to hide net traps back under overhanging branches to keep them safe. In Michigan you have to have the whole top above water I believe Trapping is easy you say? You try getting your target animal to step in a 3 inch area of its whole territory.

Worked for me last weekend. I wish I could do either turtles or crawdad commercially, Michigan laws suck on that. Crawfish no limit but you can't sell them, turtle one a day and you can't sell them Trapping is easy you say? You try getting your target animal to step in a 3 inch area of its whole territory.
