Make bottom edge sets. Find any open water at feeders or field tiles and make baited pocket sets there. If you can set snares follow the tracks and you should be able to find places where you can snare him at. Right where he goes around that cattail would be a good spot if he returns.

It's pretty open, next time he'll come thru in another spot. Its frustrating trying to trap them in this spot. Best luck I've had is with baited conibear cubbies or live traps brushed in and baited. I've actually caught far more by accident in muskrat sets in this marsh and stream than I have in mink and coon sets.

A piece of stove pipe on his trail might do the trick.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

That mink should be easy to get. Use some smelt and setup as a cuddy or edge of bottom to set your body grip. That over hanging grass under the bank or make a cave/hole using what you have in the picture.
If you could keep that water open you would set where ice and water meet with a body grip and some bait on either side of the trap.

What Computer Hater said.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Connecting with blind set, after freeze up, in the snow mink is ridiculously satisfying to me.
