Catching Fish from Inside a Minnow Trap POV 2

Click the link for the first POV video: • Catching Fish from Ins...
This is a point of view (POV) video of a minnow trap catching fish in a salt marsh creek. The fish caught are sheepshead minnows and mummichogs which are very hardy and are used as a baitfish all the time. The bait inside the trap is a piece of hot-dog roll. You can see once one fish goes in, the rest start to follow... The more fish that move into the trap, the more that are willing to follow behind them!

The minnows naturally follow the edge and since the hole is at the end of a cone pointing inward, they follow the edge into the trap but cant follow the edge out of the trap. Some fish do figure it out, but maybe 1 for every 30 fish. Small black sea bass and blackfish (tog) are structure oriented and can move in and out of the trap like there is a huge hole!

200th like!

[@chrisfix]

Same! It's crazy that they are willing to squeeze their bodies into the trap!

[@chrisfix]

They can, but it is extremely hard for them to find their way out. They follow the edge and since it is a cone, the edge doesnt lead them out.

[@chrisfix]

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@shitaxb4370]

They can't escape because they swim in a zig zag pattern which makes it more difficult to exit. The entrance is a funnel shape which helped guide them in the trap. This also applies to flies, they can't fly in a straight line.

[@glendaroberts5965]

Nothing more fun than catching minnows in the marshes. We used to do it with netting from onion and tater sacks and we would whack them with sticks at low tide. That was 40+ years ago. We would fish in the channel behind the beach house with them and caught whatever was biting that day. You brought a lot of memories back with this. Thank you.

This was just to see how the fish go in the trap but I use the trap to catch minnows for bait and for my fishtank.

[@callumrobloxpro9180]

Sick video, its really cool how you can see the fish going right past the camara.

In the salt marshes of NJ.

[@bassfishingwiththeantichri2921]

I knew you were an alright guy. I've trapped a many minnow when I was younger. Two slices of wonder bread ripped in half, trap parallel with the current. Sometimes it was funner catching the minnows than the bass we caught with em. Dobyns Rods just moved to Texas. That's all I use. Fish on!

[@daveno8432]

holly hanna!! This is one of the coolest video's ive seen on youtube in a long time.

[@chrisfix]

Thanks!

[@chrisfix]

Thanks! Yea, you never get to see this perspective!

[@chrisfix]

It works for small mullet. This is saltwater, just no mullet around. Gotta bait it correctly to catch the mullet.

[@gustavtootikian2798]

Great video. It's nice to how it works underwater.

love the unique prospective here. Seems like no matter what type of trap I build, all I catch are minnows ;-)

[@MikeViLLaZ]

That's awesome from just wet land, it starts to team with aquatic life as the water levels rose. Mostly they were swooped by the current but still it's amazing

[@chrisfix]

Actually, they werent swooped by the current, they ride the current in to save energy. These little guys can easily swim against the tide! But yea, it is really awesome! Thanks for the comment!

[@be_like_a_bird]

Love this video thanks for sharing

[@chrisfix]

It was in there for 5hrs to get the timelaps but once the tide covered the trap (the regular speed part) it caught fish in 10min.

[@724riff]

Hi that looks like a standard monnow trap with a 1 inch opening , I live in eastern fla can you tell me if that is a standard minnow trap how big the opening is and well I guess the mud minnows favor the shallows , but can they be netted like mullet in deeper waters ? thanks plus that looks like bread , have you tried anything else for the trap

[@NonnofYobiznes]

One question. How did you make the camera (battery?) run that long?

[@fishleap]

The fish minds: "Wow there's food." "Oh hello." "How do I get out?" "What's going on?" "Hey look, a party." "We can't get out. Help pls." "Oh hello, what is going on?" "Someone's coming!" "I can't breathe!"

[@gregpopovice4670]

I am impressed with the time factor in which you can acquire so many bait fish in such a short period of time. I think I can speak for many fishermen and aquarium enthusiast when I say that it is well worth it to spend a little more money on a trap like the Gee's G-40 galvanized if it means less effort and better results. How long do your traps last versus the black vinyl ones? And, in what types of conditions? Freshwater / saltwater.

[@istanbul118]

Amazing fishing Wow

[@biglu32007]

Thats freggin awesome... i wonder.... do you think this would work for mullet? in saltwater???

[@sheilapace8109]

where locstion wise are you like what state?

[@jobu88]

Excellent vid! It's funny how that cone setup works for a variety of species. We rig the same kind of trap to get rid of yellowjackets, a hollow plastic tube with a cone entry and put some bacon in there. They get in easy and never can find their way out.

[@chrisfix]

That is neat that it works on yellowjackets too (with bacon no less)! Now I know what to do when I have a bee problem!

[@MrNicolasignacio]

very good fish trap serves more for survival, but is not the same as when fishing with a fishing rod that makes it more exciting, I liked your prototype :D
