From years trapping Snappers here in New Jersey I have caught them in slow moving irrigation ditches no more than 6' wide x 2-3' deep, 10 to 30 lbs. Friends have a small pond maybe 20x60 feet and I pulled 7 in one fyke set, 15 to 35 lbs. Had to use a winch to drag the fyke on shore. One thing that is known in this area is that after a Thunder storm ride around the cranberry bog dams as they liked to move from reservoir to reservoir. Even found them on golf courses bone dry trekking to the next water trap, give them water and they will eventually find it. Have even found them wandering with no water within a good mile away. They're wildlife and don't read the books. Another thing know in this area is that traps aren't set till the Laurel Is in bloom. Forgot to mention I have even caught them in neglected in ground swimming pools.
