It really does work because i have two fish tanks and i have 5 in one tank and 3or 4 in
another tank, and it really does work so if any one like to make it and find out for your self, and see if we aren’t wrong about how many minnows you eill catch in the minnow trap, believe me it really does work.
and yes it does work.

fried chicken also works if you want to catch crayfish. i recommend that it be fresh and hot that way the smell will be strongest when you put it in the trap. (Good luck)

I have a canal in behind my backyard full of cradawds and minnows. the minnows eat the bait so this should help. crawdawd traps are bigger and have a bigger opening.

yes,It really does work,because i have cought a lot of them.and i use dog food and that does work too. because i have tried and it does work.as many as you rally want. but i might advice you to take a bucket or something to put the minnows in,I have made a minnow holder out of a 2 litter plastic pop bottle and it really works to to take my minnows to my house.

By: jenngirl

jenngirl — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 23:18:34 +0000

if you set your traps in the mornings and evening and then go and checks them and c what you have?but i think that you should have some kind of bucket with you so you can keep the minnow in the bucket so when you are ready to go fishing.

I made about forty. I attach each to a rock with twine and put french fries in.after i put the french fries in, i put a little bit of salt and leave it over night.each trap gets obout 20 minnows in it. i sell the minnows to my scout troop as fishing bait.oh, and C.S., each trap should cathc about 10 to 20 minnows.

Is this a practical way to catch 2-3 dozen minnows a day for bass fishing? I am making one right now at this very moment…but I was wondering if it was adequate for what I need, or if I need to make more than one of them?

You can get 10-20 in10 minints or nothing in a hole day. Look where they are,fill botel with warter and anchor with rocks. .for best result bring flour. wet into small bb’s for bait. Can’t go wrong! Good Luck!

as a 5 yo i made a trap using a goldfish bowl, on its side, w opening facing the shore of a lake i lived on. i put bread crumb in the back of it. the fish would get in the bowl and try to get out the back, seeing the deeper water thru the bottom of the bowl. i would just scoop them up and put them in my baby pool full of water. what a shock my parents had when they saw 100s of fish, and minnows but i had no fising pole!! i am going to try this and also use it to catch bugs!! thanks for the ideas for me and my kid.

If you need bait on a multiple day fishing trip on a stream or pond, stick a tumbleweed or limb of a bush in the water near the bank. Just about after sunset, quickly pull out the bush and fling it onto the bank. Minnows like to hide in these covered areas at night. You can collect all the minnows that come flinging onto shore for bait the next day.
