Mud bottom is good, eel grass is not needed. I set mind in a march that has those trenches they put in years ago for bug control. Throw it in the trench on a rising tide occurring at night and pull it 12 hours later. Just stake the trap to shore. Also hang one from a bridge in a canal that is there all the time. Theft is an issue in many areas.
