Muskrat lure or bait question

[tryinhard]

Got a dock that has rats everywhere the guy says. What is a good bait or lure that's not attractive to ducks or other pesky non-targets?

[bverboy]

Peppermint toothpaste.

[krank]

Yup....need a scent as bait will draw the ducks. Don't overlook underwater blind sets.

[tryinhard]

Got any suggestions Krank? Chunk rock bank.

[beavertrapper]

Get you some hagz brackets you can set on the chunk rock

[krank]

Set up rafts. Weigh the traps so they will sink any ducks you catch. Simple.

Lenons rat lure won't draw ducks LOL-I even sell it,the stuff I sell was made by ASA-not the guy he sold the business to.

ive never had much luck on baited sets, oh i caught some but not like i would have thought.but im a hard head and i went and got some lenons this year going to give it a try.you need to try those hagz brackets for conis, you can get those 3/8 rods about anywhere . if you cant stick them in the mud build up some rocks and brace it up with them.. the rod that is

I have a deal going on with a lake in the middle of town. Owner cant sleep at night because he saw a muskrat. Surrounded by chain link fence with rip rap on the bank. Sad to say, I am going to use rafts and live traps on it. Reason being there are no trails or burrows visible. I can blind set the rip rap and just use a weight for the coni. Drop it between two rocks and it is going nowhere. Back when cordlesses were first invented, I used to screw traps to culvert pipes. I could tap-con to a rock. I don't expect a struggle in a BG.
