My minnow trap bit the dust so I use the crawdad trap sometimes.It
Has a larger opening which allows more to come in,you just have to check it more often before they exit.
We feed our duck dry oatmeal near the water's edge & inadvertantly
Some gets in the water.The minnows go crazy over it.
So this a.m. I put some fish scraps in the trap & set it in the spot,I threw a handful of oatmeal on top of the trap.Oatmeal sinks
To/through the trap.Within 5 minutes I checked the trap had at least 50 minnows.
In the past I have actually caught a 2 lb bass & water moccasin in the trap
together,they weren't happy... :fish
