If you are in a swampy area, particularly in brackish waster (like the Navesink or Shrewsbury rivers) Hang them deep in a tamper-proof box, Several times in my younger years I've had them in a wire minnow trap that was raided and pulled apart by some animal...raccoon, skunk, muskrat, I don't know. Same with crayfish in fresh water.
