Does anyone have any way of catching mink or otter messing up a boathouse?

Boat house otters are a challenge. My best success has come from bottom edge setting cribs and entry points into the boathouse. Think like an otter wanting to enter the boathouse bay by surprise as though it wants to ambush prey fish. Have had some success with 330s and fish baited triggers. I've never had much luck with submerged baited buckets and haven't put the effort into building swim through cage traps.

Seeing I have one I would try the tube trap for skunks. I would bait it with fish, and cover it up so just the hole is showing those mink just love going in and out of places. The otter is another story.
