Here's a little informational/demonstrational video that I've made for Speech class about minnows and how to catch them. In this video I show how to catch minnows with a minnow trap and seine.

those minos that you caught with the home made trap where huge ! in my creek the minos are small they almost are like tadpols

[@samuelrosique3777]

Seriously that’s true we have a creek

[@laynepiatt]

tai Lopez there’s plenty of those here too, just gotta go to a deeper hole

[@twinklehamster]

Same my minnows look like tadpoles

[@jiaruan3146]

If you dont have minnow traps you can use regular nets, its more difficult but put the bread near the entrance of the net so the fish are comfortable with the net and once they get super close to the bread or inside the net scoop it up by turning the net upwards so they cant swim out!

[@karimabdullah2925]

Good job fella.Nice to see someone out and about enjoying the pleasures of nature instead stuck to facebook

[@laynepiatt]

Thank you! It's good to get out and enjoy the creek

Edgar Ramirez thank you!

[@BOLT4417]

Awesome vid good job thank you

[@Jbayz]

I caught like 30 fry and put them in my tank yesterday. They seem to be doing well. They're now in with the snailsplosion that happened from the couple of snails that hitched a ride in some moss I took from the creek.

[@laynepiatt]

Sounds good!

[@antplay9931]

Thank you this will help me a lot cuz I'm a new Fisher

[@TheProfessionalAmateur91]

Natural crawfish are my number 1 favorite bait for bass

[@laynepiatt]

Never tried much fishing with live bait, the most natural presentation there is

[@waterdoggies3186]

Helpful! Might have to make myself a trap now haha

[@laynepiatt]

I was surprised that the homemade trap did better than the store bought! Homemade is the way to go

[@jonathanwilson6288]

Nice video. This question is for anyone that reads this. As a novice angler can you use bread as minnow bate for both freshwater and saltwater minnows?

[@laynepiatt]

Jonathan Wilson thank you! I couldn’t tell you anything about saltwater minnows, Ohio is quite far from the ocean lol

[@jonathanwilson6288]

Layne Piatt thank you. I’m here in Virginia and we are fortunate to have access to both. But I wasn’t sure if bread would work in saltwater or not. We usually use a piece of bacon and it works. I would much rather use bread if it would work. Well I guess I will try and see if it works.

[@laynepiatt]

Jonathan Wilson I wish you good luck!

[@jefebeans1486]

can you use these bait traps in ponds/lakes as well?

[@laynepiatt]

Should work wherever there is bait fish

[@BurqueMD]

Great video, thanks!

[@laynepiatt]

Thank you for watching!

[@Leiserfl]

Excelent ty

[@alistaironthehill]

You need to do more vids where you talk in them

[@unicornsteaks6769]

4:30 I was looking at those rocks thinking that was where I would slip.

[@laynepiatt]

Unicorn Steaks it was was too smooth and slick lol

[@fenkellmoney8034]

Do you have a video how to make homemade trap?

[@laynepiatt]

Sadly not, my dad made it spur of the moment.

[@jdogg661420]

we have glass minnows here but they are so tiny they would go through those traps holes.. at first i was thinking most the ones you caught also would just go through the holes in the trap.. but then ya boom.. you had a lot better ones.. though i think you just need a finer mesh trap. then you can get the little ones also.. you can just buy some material also soft type mesh and wrap your homemade one and make it more fine.. the little ones are nice though.. because you will catch more fish with them.. though the bigger ones will get you nicer fish for sure.. we also have shad here.. we can use both if you can dip net them only.. well maybe we can do a trap i need to look it up.. because i know if i could get some shad or minnows i might be able to catch some fish easier then just using fake plastics all the time. im in cali so they are strict here on laws.

[@laynepiatt]

jdogg661420 most of the fish I caught in the video were either chubs or shiners. I outta try to catch some glass minnows eventually.

[@laynepiatt]

jdogg661420 nice to see that my video has reached Cali!

[@melroyel2235]

The current was to strong for trap one.

[@laynepiatt]

Mel 4theTruth I should’ve put it in a smarter location

[@roamingwaters8876]

What kind of trap? is it on amazon?

[@laynepiatt]

Most people call them Frabill traps, they’re all over amazon

[@saillei1808]

You should swap the locations of the two traps.

[@laynepiatt]

The first trap was in a bad place really

[@TheStowhan]

Trap one had a current blocking access to the trap. Those little guys aren't strong enough to fight it.

[@Biffo1262]

Your homemade trap has a rather large gauge mesh so obviously caught the bigger ones and you placed it in the right place ...on the bottom whereas you placed the commercial one in the wrong place on that ledge too high in the water.

[@feperdeoli]

Finally i can catch minnows in RuneScape

[@laynepiatt]

Felipe Pereira de Oliveira huh

[@carolinacoins]

I enjoyed your video. Thank you for taking the time to make it and share it with us.

[@laynepiatt]

Anytime! Thanks for watching!

[@debbiemedford2065]

How did you make your homemade trap?

[@laynepiatt]

Hardware cloth/chicken wire and zip ties!

Homemade trap in a better spot?

[@laynepiatt]

100% lol

[@anniesavage5369]

Ok how do I make one

[@laynepiatt]

Buy some 1/2 in or smaller garden cage wire and make two cones out of them then put them together

[@Mr1autigers]

All I have been catching is baby blue gill like this

[@kashafnoman3211]

Thanks for leaving them ❤️❤️

[@usernamemykel]

Where to send needle and thread?

[@laynepiatt]

Do what?

[@v1p3r.b1t3]

I just want to make friends at the lake

[@iklink]

Is this legal in California?

[@laynepiatt]

Shoot who knows nowadays, everything seems to be prohibited or heavily regulated in California when it comes to being an outdoorsman. I’d send your local division of wildlife an email about that one.

[@victorresendiz7288]

Where can I get myself of one of those net things

[@laynepiatt]

Hmmm, you could buy a Seine online or try Dicks or Bass Pro. I got mine from a yard sale.

[@johnroby6524]

Whereabouts do you live? Minnows are great for catching crappie, hence why I'm here. I'd rather catch my own minnows than waste money buying them.

[@laynepiatt]

I live in southern Ohio. I've never used any for bait but I bet they'd be great!

[@johnroby6524]

@@laynepiatt ah nice. I live near Dayton so your method probably works just as well here.

[@laynepiatt]

@@johnroby6524 Should work excellent, the creeks are probably the same as here. Minnow traps are definitely the best way to go if you're gonna leave them for a couple hours at a time. The quickest way for me is the seine when I have another person helping me but you will definitely get soaked!

[@guenz5204]

If you only had the music down a bit I would have heard something

[@bryine.willis8683]

> it’s ok...

[@garygranato9164]

live baiting for sport is NOT COOL

[@laynepiatt]

It’s for educational purposes, none were harmed while filming
