What about retired robo-cops?

Well,don’t nose knock to release…

Otters will wake back up.

Isn't Bruth T writin a book too?

Don't waste your money on "otter" lure.

Unless you find solid otter dirthole locations at otter toilets....then a musky lure is your friend.

There is a "unless" or a "but" in everything. Never say never.

To get an otter to move a few feet on a toilet t(o where you want them) lures may help. Other than that I say their use is kind of pointless.

On toilets I have used collected otter scat from other areas and squirted a little shellfish oil on top and got considerable interest from visiting otters.

I don't think anyone mentioned gang setting for them. They travel in multiples. I have often caught more than one in a single location setting. Also, be patient. Don't pull your sets to soon. I had a set where a tree had fallen across a stream. Made 4 body grip sets along the tree where I thought an otter might go through. After almost two weeks of nothing was surprised to find 3 caught otter. Two were caught in a single Belisle. That was a first and last time I ever had that happen.

Just like the other guys say- be patient. They have a large territory and it takes a while to come back sometimes. I usually put three body traps in a row on good stretches of a run or up the back of a dam or crossover. I have gotten three in a row before . Sometimes I think I should have set more traps.

Not an expert but find toilets set heavy no lure or scents

During the rut when trapping toilets you don't need to be very patient. If I don't get action in 3-4 days it probably was a dead toilet.

5 0tter day happened to me once...
I dreamt about having more outer than tags

Set below secondary dam in the Winter

My largest...60"

Put your trap where the otter is going anyhow

I have only caught five. Three were in buckets set for coon when I lived at the coast. They went in for chunks of fresh yellowfin tuna. They used to climb into boats at night and rob fresh fish from coolers. They also ate a lot of blue crabs, which I considered using for bait but never did.

Had a 14 otter day once. All off toilets.

That was a good payday BP back when they were avg 200 bucks.
14 otter today would net you around 850,still not bad.

I can't imagine having fresh chunks of yellowfin tuna for bait - pretty sure I would be stuck in that bucket.

When on the down side of a beaver dam. Facing up stream, The otters and mink. Will cross the dam on the right side. More time than not.

Otters ussually wherever the water flow is
