• Weight (brick or 1/2 cinder block)
• Stake (rope will be tied to it on the bank)
• 2 Ropes (1 approx. 3’ longer than water depth to attach weight to
trap; 1 at least 30’ for moving trap in and out of water)
• Boat (for larger ponds/lakes)
For Smaller Ponds
STEP 1: Tie one end of the shorter rope to the trap and the other end to the weight.
STEP 2: Tie one end of the longer rope to the trap.
STEP 3: Put weight and trap on the bank on one side of the pond. Take longer rope
in hand and walk to the other side of the pond. Pull the rope to move the trap and
weight into the pond. We recommend having the trap at least 30’ from the shoreline.
STEP 4: Tie the free end of the rope to the stake at the bank.
For Larger Ponds or Lakes
Attach the weight to the trap. Using a boat, take weight and trap to where you want
the trap to be placed in the pond. (We recommend at least 30’ from the shoreline.)
Drop the weight and trap into the pond.
HELPFUL TIPS
Check the trap and remove any turtles about every two weeks.
Remove other floating surface debris to increase catch frequency.
