Thats a great looking condo, Dave ! I've used a similar one for yrs. w/ good success. Mine doesn't have the cage on top though, and instead of pvc it has a conical wire funnel that leads to the bottom half. The top of the funnel where it goes through the board is about 5.5" dia. and it tapers down to bout 3". The bottom edge of the funnel has the wire snipped open so it has points sticking down.
Wire a couple ears of sweet corn to the bottom of the submerged cage and go sharpen your skinnin' blade ! You can clear out a good size pond in short order once they start using it.
On the down side, I was hassled 3 times by wardens while usin it on public lakes, I never got cited, they could never decide if it was legal or not ( in Ohio ), but one said he would if he caught me usin it again, said it was a variation on the old barrel trap, although it's not ! Go figure.
