Those of you setting jug lines in lake Buchanan. What are you setting them with? We have always set them with perch, but the bite on them has slowed down, and we’re having a hard time finding enough perch to set 20-30 lines. Thinking about a perch trap but unsure of the legality.

Perch traps are easy to build once you get the first one done. They can be no bigger than 2'x2'x2'. And as stated above, the mouth or opening can be no larger than 3"x1". They also have to have a gear tag just like jug lines and trot-lines. And follow the same time limits. A 25' x36" roll of mesh will build you two 2'x2'x1' traps. And leave enough for an 18"x1'x1' trap. The 2x2x1 traps I build have 4 entrances, and a center bait holder that can be accessed from the outside top. Building is a whole lot cheaper than buying one!
