Use day old donuts from local donuts shops ( if the police haven't eaten them all) , they are thrown out anyway. Or clean out your car if you have small kids or teenagers after they have been to McDonald's. Fries work the best , even leftover's from last nights supper , but no meats ....it attracts turtles like crazy....👍 👍 🇨🇦

I built a pin fish style trap a few years ago for small bream also. For bait, cheap canned cat or dog food with holes in the can works great. Cotton seed cakes also work

That was an awesome build. Great stuff.

[@nealkrueger6097]

Dry Oatmeal and corn meal mixed together with a bit of whole corn in a lemon or lime mesh bag works like a chum bag in the trap. Especially since the corn meal is small and the Oatmeal won't just melt away. The mix will bring in all sorts of minnows and other baits to trap the larger fish.

[@danham3344]

That’s a really cool trap! Over the last 40yrs when using these materials for building cages or fence I have a method you might be interested in trying that should save you a few steps and make your connections a bit sturdier. When making your 11” cut by eliminating the center square, just cut the center square right down the middle leaving 1/2 inch tabs on each 11” piece. Then when assembling it, you simply bend each 1/2” tab over and through the adjoining piece. It basically does the same as hog rings but tighter. You can also alternate which side of the adjoining wire you wrap around so the panel can’t slide back & forth. You are also eliminating one of your cutting steps with the cutting wheel. You don’t need to wrap every 1/2” tab. Wrap as many as yo think you need for a good fit(every 3rd or 4th would be similar # as you had hog ties). I think the occasional zip ties is a great idea to secure it up. I never considered that. Love your videos. I’m no engineer so this is the first time I’ve left a suggestion. 😂. Thanks for all the great content. Really enjoy all of it! “Just sayin’ “! 😃👍🏼

[@FishinNStuff]

I think that's a great idea man . Thank you

[@hereandthere9023]

Nice table. i've helped to ring quite a few hogs, but we only had pliers that could handle one ring at a time. 🙂Those pliers look a little more specialized.

[@silvergrizzly316]

Keith, that is a awesome built fish trap brother, I would've loved to see the catch? 👍👍GREAT STUFF Brother!!! Jay.

[@FishinNStuff]

It caught 5 the first try . My next video is going to be on how it works out

[@dirtybuzzard5977]

That’s awesome video . I been building fish , coon , crawfish, rabbit,bird ,hog, coyote traps since i was a kid . I used tie wire for years and just started using j clips a few years back . I still got my first traps I made . I used hog rings on a couple before but didn’t like them . I like to tie a couple of milk jugs on fish traps to float them a different depths for shiners . This past summer i built 8 fish traps just like the $120pic ya showed . A guy brought that same pic to me and ask if I build it for him and I did he seen it and wanted 7 more for his 135 acre family private pond . Now I got a new place to fish too.

[@FishinNStuff]

That worked out good lol . Ima try the j clips on my next video . I love experimenting on stuff . The traps working good so far . But we'll see

[@LivinWith3M]

Great build man. I never thought about hog rings to secure the connections. Awesome!

[@gofishingwhenyoucan]

Awesome video by my friend Keith

[@Top-Jimmy]

For where the trap is tied on.. I might try making a V shaped bridle, Attached to the two front bottom corners. It can be made with coat hanger wire or heavy gauge fencing wire or even rope!. Reason being as a retired Western Rock Lobster Fisherman in Western Australia, this is how we attach the ropes to the Lobster Pot. It will help greatly in avoiding getting snagged up on rocks or branches as you're retrieving it. This is such a fantastic design mate!! Absolutely love it... You could use this for overnight sets for Crawdad's or Crawfish I think you guys call them? We call them Yabbies and their much larger relatives are called Marron. Both are freshwater critters with Marron growing to the size of North American Ocean Lobster. Awesome video buddy thank you very much! CP - Western Australia Midwest Coast.

[@douggief1367]

Is that like a draw bar on a car trailer?

[@Top-Jimmy]

@@douggief1367 Yep!!

[@brianhoyt2469]

Bailing wire works great too for attaching the panels to one another by weaving it through the squares of the adjoining panels. More rigid but a bit slower than the hog rings. Also I haven’t tried it but I wonder how plastic dipping or spraying a trap with flex seal would turn out in an effort to better prevent it from rusting similar to the expensive rubberized fish/crab traps.

[@fishlessfisherman1539]

Awesome video! Keep them coming. 👍🏻🍻

[@jefferybarron929]

"J" clips works excellent and hinge but are more snug than hog-rings.

[@dantheairboatman1234]

J clips trap water/salt and will corrode faster that’s why commercial crab traps use hog rings

[@jefferybarron929]

@@dantheairboatman1234 well, they won't corrode any faster than the galvanized wire. They both are coated with the same coating. And, I'm sure it's not needed to last forever.

[@edmartin1040]

Great video! I think this could be modified for crabs. Us northern guys need to add a turtle excluder ( not sure if people in NC need to do this) but that’s a pretty easy modification.

[@Top-Jimmy]

Absolutely brilliant!! Thanks man!

[@patrickbush9526]

We used to build them out of wood when I was a kid

[@charlieboutin3341]

Awesome DIY trap! 👍👍 Dry catfood inside a piece of pantyhose has worked excellent for baiting our traps for years. (My wife is still wondering where one of her good stockings are?! 😂🤫) Have a great one Keith. Thanks for the great ideas brother! 👍👌🐟✌️

Lol . I'll try it

[@heathschwab]

I'll deff watch the next. Yes I've watched alot get built on KZbin even used some. Years ago that is. But I like them rings alot faster than ties. But yea can't weight for next see what I can learn. Happy new year and God bless

[@jamesscarberry3128]

Hey FNS I hate to keep bothering you but I just wanted to give you another tip on your perch holding box. We used them to keep pin perch for saltwater bait and when we made them square the perch would tear their noses up and die from infections. So we started making them round so they don’t get stuck in the corners. Hope this helps tight lines and full freezers 🎣🐟🤠 P.S. they are a lot easier to build👍

We just make a wire box with that size wire. Then cut a slit in the sides of the box and bend the slit inwards so that the fish can't get out. Put a door in the top to the fish out. Little simpler than your design, same concept. Nice trap

Great idea , and video Keith. Man, you are right, check the state laws. Whatever your state has, game wardens, DNR, etc., those people have got the greatest job, but there ain't a one of them thats got any kind of sense of humor if your in violation. And they got very expensive reminders if you mess up. Love yer videos, man, really enjoy them when they hit. God bless you and your family brother. Stay safe and enjoy life.

Looks nice. I know it’s galvanized but would you consider plastic dip (spray) to better seal it. Also did it work?

You can buy wire that is already plastic covered. It's often used in salt and brackish water.

You missed a critical step. Take some small diameter vinyl tubing and slit it long ways. Then slide it over the rough edges of your doorway. It will keep that pokey wire edge from eating up your arm when you reach in there. Trust me, I've been cut up bad by those wire edges. It works really awesume.

Great trap! I've tried all kinds of things for bait: dog food, cat food, bread, cottonseed cake, cow cubes. I've had just as much, if not more, success throwing it in without bait.
