I am laughing so hard at you two but I am have learned a lot about fish traps and bait baskets.

[@Harlanmote]

My brother and I made fish baskets when we were kids in the 70’. Caught lots of fish. A old man that my father knew told us how to build them. He said he used them during the depression to help feed his family.

[@barnfind1243]

YEP SAME HERE AND WE GOT LOTS AND LOTS

[@raytribble8075]

I use those J clips on my DIY lanyard loops. Wrap weed eater string around a 3/8” diameter aluminum tube and boil it the the J clips on the loops and cheap and easy lanyards for my rods and rod holders on my yak. Make 2-3 traps like that and set them next to each other. Awesome video!

[@davidmerritt5702]

You and Dave made me laugh out loud. Funny stuff letting go of the rope.

[@FishinNStuff]

Lol yeah that wasn't fake at all lol

[@waynebazemore3148]

Go to a farm supply store and get you some cotton seed meal cake. Break off a piece and put in the bait compartment or just place in the trap. Add an aluminum pie plate in the trap. Fish are attracted to shiney objects. You'll catch a lot more fish.

Great video, Keith! I was just thinking if you put a couple lengths of pool noodle along the long sides at the top, the holding tank would float at the surface.

[@rickbooher8224]

Try dry cat and dog food in your fish trap. It has always been successful for me for baiting fish traps. I also use it for baiting a fishing hole. I put the dry cat or dog in a mesh bag similar to a onion or to red mesh orange bags and drop in down into the water on a rope. If in a boat I use a marker body then and then fish all around the bag of food. As the dry food breaks down in the bag . Ever once in a while lift the bag in several jerking motions allow some of the food to disperse in the water like fish chum bag. Sometimes I do a bag in an area I want to fish the day before and fish over the area the next day. You can add a can or two of sardines to get a oil slick to permeate the water surrounding the dry food. I like to poke holes in the can with an ice pick to make it last long time while the bait mesh bag. Then everythime you disturb the bag or a fish disturbs the bag it releases more oils out of the sardine can. I have also use canned herring and mackerel. Works good in fresh water and saltwater both. It makes for a great chum line drifting in the current.

[@panchovillasmith8218]

Thanks for posting. Question. Do you place mesh bag on the bottom of the lake?

Gonna share a little secret about perch traps that might increase your catch.Take some small brush limbs and weave it threw the holes or zip tie them to the trap all the way around it .Perch are drawn to this setup for curious reasons.

[@handy-capoutdoors4063]

I watched another video where a guy tried 3 minnow traps with 3 different baits in the same pond. He used pork based hot dogs in 1 bread in another and wheat crackers in the last. The hotdogs had twice the number of minnows after 24 hours but the bread had more species of minnow. So I'd try hotdog.

[@jameslaw3740]

Can of sardines and not one crawdad the next day??? Have you tried chicken livers or hearts yet?? Pet shop shrimp works ok , I like cow heart ground up and two cups of baby Pablum and flavouring , mixed well, put in a nine by nine pan , cooked for forty five minutes in the oven at 250 until hardened , do not over cook it , then cut into one inch cubes for trap bait. Works to feed aquarium fish also.

[@FishinNStuff]

He may not have any crayfish I'm not sure he has turtles

[@npcwill283]

Bread and hotdogs all chopped up real nice if my preferred bluegill bait for traps ! The bread attracts them and the hot dogs fall to the bottom and force them into the traps . The bread is often time picked away from the exterior !

For fishbox I use a 55gal plastic barrel. I drilled 1" holes all over it. Then cut a square hole in the top. I used some door hinges to reattach the cut out as a door. I keep bluegill in there until I bait up. Then use a couple 5gallon buckets with holes to hang over the side while baiting up.

[@handyman75657]

A Quartered up raw potato works best for Bream bait. We dont even use the bait box. We just throw a hand full of potatoes into the bottom of the traps every other day and add as needed. In the spring we put out at least 8 traps and run them all spring for Flathead and Blues and ocassional eating. These traps are Texas legal traps and we have caught upwards to 80 baits at a time in our Traps In lakes and ponds. I have built several of the Clover leaf traps and they work well. Texas legal traps are 3'X3'x1' with the openings at 1'''X3'''

[@michaelstansel4182]

Well I watched the video you made on catching bait fish , but the overall best bait fish bait that I have ever used is dry pellet dog food that is big enough that it won't pass thru the holes in your trap when it's dry ,but when you load your bait trap bait holder part you have to fill it up completely full of the dog food pellets so that as it sits in the Water it will expand and soften and pass thru the bait holder and become accessible to the fish which usually creates a feeding frenzy.

[@FishinNStuff]

I'll have to try that method

[@russellcrawford4809]

The very best thing to use is a couple white Styrofoam cups or a Styrofoam worm box. The white color draws them in. It's all I use and catch plenty perch for trotlines
