Crawfish Trap Pt3
The crawfish will be
able to go in, but not out!
I then finished the
other side by attaching the second cone to other end of the
cylinder, the same way I did the first one
About 5 1/5 inches of chain was used to make a
handle for carrying my trap, simply by bending open both chain link
ends on each end of the chain…
…and clamping them to my
trap
I had to make sure my handle was centered on the trap before securing so it wouldn’t be lopsided while carrying it…
For removing the
crawfish I needed a trap door, so I cut a hole into the center of my trap…
The hole was 9
squares x 8 squares in size
With what was left of my
excess chicken wire, I cut a door slightly larger than the hole I just
made in my trap. The door was 10 squares x 11 squares in size
The sides of the door
overlapped the hole nicely
My door was then
attached with more zippy ties
Trim, trim, trim those
zippies!!
For keeping the trap
door shut, I used a rubber band and a piece of chain link
The rubber band was slid
through the wire on the door
…and looped through
itself
I actually attached two of these that kept the trap door
secured nicely
