How to Find AND Catch Minnows for Bait!

[@contagiousreligion]

I do this a lot. Dig and cat food are amazing and cheap baits. Dollar Tree bag of dog food will get all your bait for an entire season. I target deep holes in swift current away from access because people steal my traps. In FL, you have to put your name and address on a tag on them.

[@AnglingWithAlex]

Yeah I used to use dog food back when I had a dog. And as you can see here - I'm kind of back where nobody treks in hopes of nobody stealing it.

Nice vid

[@AnglingWithAlex]

thanks Fransico.

[@fransicopadron7908]

Angling With Alex I can’t seem to stop catfish from coming into my trap and eating everything, can you help me please?

[@AnglingWithAlex]

@@fransicopadron7908 make the entry point smaller to keep the bigger fish out. If they are the same size as what you want to catch then you need to find a bait they dont like that the bait likes. Otherwise - its gonna be hard haha.

[@fransicopadron7908]

Thanks and keep up the good content.

I tried mullet and it nearly doubled my crawfish rate.

OH YES

[@texarkanaandi7393]

You might want to try public lakes around the neighborhood, and drop the funnel trap where there are plants growing in the water

[@AnglingWithAlex]

This is good advice!

[@texarkanaandi7393]

@@user-us4wy8mw9y I would go for the bottom for stability reason. For bait, rather than bread, I would go with a small can of cat food with several holes drilled into it.

"I don't leave it in the water for more than 4-5 hours because it might get too packed" LOL

[@AnglingWithAlex]

Don't have that problem in this body of water but that is definitely a concern in some places. Good problem to have if you ask me hah!

[@DetroitSportFanatic]

Great video! Dude it's so frustrating. I used those traps for a week and on the final day when I was getting ready to leave and the trap got over 2 dozen of them... that was super frustrating

[@AnglingWithAlex]

Haha - yeah it can be a bit of luck sometimes! That's just fishing though!

[@Isaiah-Astwood]

Also the trap won’t get too crammed in there with minnows because they will eventually swim their way out of the holes specially sunfish because they’re really smart

[@haroldcale4767]

Did I tell you love bank fishing for fish of any kind is okay by me, love to fish from the bank. Catch and Eat - fish on.

[@coryahenakew9319]

Thanks for the video. Fuck what anyone says keep teaching teacher

[@solaceworks]

Too many ads. Not worth the wait

[@thoinguyen3928]

Talk too much

[@chevy358ci]

Sure hope you know what kind on MInnows u are trapping. Because salmon and trout fry are that size and would be sad to see them being used as bait. Most people trap in isolated ponds for this reason.

[@LizardKing513]

Pro tip: don’t begin your sentences with “So.” You must have used that word over 50 times in this video.

[@richardperez69]

You talk to much..

[@AnglingWithAlex]

Thanks!

[@jmontoya1677]

[@AnglingWithAlex]

@@jmontoya1677 can't catch em everytime!
