Don't forget the old beer trick. You can also make a trap that
they enter and that protects the bait from the water to some
extent.

Cut the top off a soda bottle down in the full size area. Turn
it inside out - so the open top goes into the bottle. Staple the
cut edges together and you have a plastic trap that holds the
bait out of the way of most water.

The beer trick is easier. - Just put out a saucer of beer. Cover
it or leave it uncovered. They love beer climb in it readily.

For traps you can also leave a citrus rind upside down on a
bench. They will climb up into it to spend the day. Early
morning discard should help thin the crop.

Good luck.
