Fishing Trap?

[Gorogon]

How the heck does thing work?

Left it in shallow water for an hour or 2 and nothing.
Do I need to put bait in it? If so what kind? Lures cannot be added.

[Snowpig]

add random food/berries/mushrooms. Do not expect to get one fish per item put in...

I thought jorb said to drop it in deep water

[nickbalev]

put it in deep water(floats half submerged) fill it up with organic material

[TheOne]

fill organic material in, leave atleast 1 slot free for a fish. bones seem to work aswell. expect ~3 fishes in 24 hrs
