I have out 25 dogproofs and am wondering what you do in the rain.Currently I put a styrofoam cup over the top and it made my catches go way down. Thoughts?
I use the big cans from baked beans, or regular sized can with a slit on the top for widening. I use these because the wind can't blow them off. You have to cover it with something, or else it's wasted anyways from the rain . Maybe put a dab of peanut butter on top of the can? I too have noticed a decline in catches when doing this, but what else is there? I've heard of people using a golf ball, but I don't see that keeping much rain out. Maybe mini-man condoms?I have out 25 dogproofs and am wondering what you do in the rain.Currently I put a styrofoam cup over the top and it made my catches go way down. Thoughts?
Very true. If one could plan it out and switch baits that way for the rain, that sounds like a good plan.I have sardines in all of mine so the rain don't affect it too much.
I use mini marshmallows as well. I dab some peanut butter around the rim and stick them to the top of it. I was using grape jelly for a little while but realized quick you get sticky when you go to reset so quit using it lol.I do like above and position my trap at an angle, I use mini Marshmallows so it no big deal if it gets wet to just change it out. Usually they are still attracted to the melted minis! Lol, Marshmallow to me has been the easiest thing to deal with and works really well!
