Minnow Trap

[@englishgeezer655]

I've been making traps like these for many years to catch baiters for perch fishing in the UK. Mine had several holes melted into them, a weight attached, and a short length of twine to swing it into the shallows further out.

[@caseymelcher1680]

Where we live we got a canal we got million of carp and trout there but they never bite so I would always on just a boring day just fish for a frickin minnows if you wanna fish use a tiny bobber and a 14 hook but now I can fish and use this trap thanks a lot man it is a cool thing to use and is very fun 10/10 man

[@TheRobro123]

Man I needed this. A dozen of these guys cost $5 in south Flo and I just found a great way to save.

[@eatwatukill]

very good idea I cant tell you how many times I have been fishing and used up all the bait and walked the shoreline with a net catching bait fish to get just a couple more hours of fishing in.

[@joesphx19]

Excellent! I live in Florida and will be using this method to obtain live bait for chain pickeral fishing.

[@Mikey8567]

Nice idea, you can also use a 2 Ltr bottle the same way. use some thumb tacks to hold the funnel top in place (you can easily remove them to collect the fish). Also weight it down or like others say tie a string to it and place a stake on the shore with it tied to it (allows easy retrieval of the minnow trap).

[@cloroxbleach223]

the first thing i thought of when watching this was... I CAN GET PET FISHES FOR FREEEEEEEE

[@harryhao]

U can keep em,

[@xxangelofdeath69xx]

Same here!!! I have an empty tank sitting alone with nothing keeping it occupied

[@SavageSalad69]

+1Game_Invader1 Thats what i did when I was a kid, free mosquito fish in the backyard to catch and keep as pets lol.

[@cloroxbleach223]

lol

[@kitty_tastic1590]

I thought that to

[@lobelia1997]

you need a bigger bottle to catch more. like a 2 litre coke bottle

[@tungstenwhizard4361]

Does this man have an amazing accent or what?

[@tomuchswag1199]

Smartest thing ever! Someone needs to pay this man

[@ScaleLilyblog]

This is the style my friend was showing me.

[@tymesho]

during camping, and with more than a few of these traps, time spent would be well supplied, great tip!

[@911ambulancegirl]

That is a really awesome life hack!!! Thank you! You never know if that could save someone's life some day!

[@MohdFaiz-ny4ls]

That place is amazingly beautiful! I'm kinda jealous

[@derekharris4922]

That's a great idea. I would never have thought of that.

[@chaimlevi7889]

Good idea I will try it in few weeks during my first spring fishing .

[@Oakleaf700]

I learned this from a French boy at a campsite- we put breadcrust into an old wine bottle, and caught plenty of minnows- we released them afterwards, it was just fun to catch them [we were kids, and in those days, kids did things like catch minnows- now it is all internet games!

[@ChrisTheHobbyGuy]

great trap

[@1234567890nam]

Yup :D i covered them with sauce though. we did the fishing. with the bottle techniquie. but the bottles was big ones. those two liter ones. and we heated a piece from a clothes hanger then poked holes at the bottom. we did that because we caught a bunch under a little waterfall.

[@michaelrobinson495]

This really works. I caught a baby bass with it!😃

[@wildermocha4614]

You look so much like my grandpa that passed and he loved to fish so this vid made me sad but thx for the advice

[@santosh5480]

the video quality was awesome.. what camera and lenses did you use??

[@RoboTekno]

Awesome, I'll keep this tip in mind the next time I go fishing, thanks! :-)

[@TarBoysWorldWide]

So basically if the world ends I need to find this guy if I want to survive.

[@Insert639]

Or just get your lazy butt of the couch and do it yourself... hahah jk

[@MariaSanchez-vk8yc]

TarBoysWorldWide i know

[@MariaSanchez-vk8yc]

Tyson Sprinter 😎

[@MrMoneybag1988]

[@gensu101]

Thanks mate... much appreciation to the answer i needed

[@FishingOfftheHook]

very cool! how long does it usually take to get around 5?

[@MrJOHNEBOB]

hey mate, good idea for catching the fish. any plans for making a chips trap?

[@IM_LAGGING671]

this is the only video that i've learned in 2012-2015, i stopped using the method but now i see tiktokers use this method

[@2marsala]

Imma use that when I go camping THANK YOU

[@chrismeyers5963]

that's actually pretty damn smart lol, glad I checked this, I know my kids are gonna laugh when they see this vid, awesome vid man, thanks, you got a sub right here lol

[@Mudassir.H786]

The best video ever 😁

[@josiettapeach4741]

That looks brill!

[@notsosilentmajority1]

Very, very cool. Thanks.

[@GameCriticNoob]

Oh wow this is genius.

[@chebak09]

[@MariaSanchez-vk8yc]

Anne Frank true

[@joyj1741]

Wtf....u still alive?

[@itsveryhard]

very helpful! thank you very much sir ^^

[@frederickbigfredsheepfieny4806]

Very efficient way of catching

[@tiitiesforlife4614]

That was awsome..I gotta try that out

[@ibrahimgoma7779]

too small do you use them as bait?

[@tellitlikeitis-rg4ny]

i used to do this to catch bait for chub perch and pike in the uk

[@mitchcoutu3974]

How long do you have to wait for?

[@Oakleaf700]

Well, the minnows you caught must have been bigger than ours! ours were tiny, and not worth eating. Very fresh fish do taste lovely though. Anything smaller than a sardine isn't usually worth the effort- but depends on how hungry you are :)

[@MrMotorcycle1]

Nice video thanks man

[@jchast1980]

I like it. Well done.

[@puusycat]

does this work in sea water also? can i bait it with bread in sea water?

[@imaweaboo5273]

[@johnmeyers8585]

Excellent vid.

[@ZachTato]

Great vid man

[@pungpoal22]

[@Oakleaf700]

[@killmerhonda4373]

You're a genius!

[@Therobloxgamer11]

Bear gryll's should try this trap out, lol thumbs up if you agree.

[@SalvaCola4Me]

[@martinvera7796]

[@blueicie]

Any wayer botte is ok right?

[@ishaboi7106]

Awesome trap

[@might1playsminecraft]

r those mollies?

[@radmilastefanovic3760]

I like it, il use that to catch fish and make my freinds jealous of how i catch them.

[@KaninaPaAkoDito]

Will definitely try that

[@troller4jesus]

How many grams of protein per minnow?

[@jacob98ify]

About .5 - but they are high in calcium and toxins

[@Sleepless_Sam]

jacob98ify Because calcium and toxins are the same category of digestible elements in food.

[@candidcomments292]

Garry S not enough for a jackflims protien shake

[@BlueMonkeyBatman]

is it gonna flow

[@StealthCroft]

It's just a palm sized Panasonic HDC-SD90. I have a larger Sony Z1E, but this is too big and heavy for foreign trips.

[@jayjayjay4070]

Tried the same trap and used bread also but for some reason the minnow just swim around it does not go in at all is like they knew it was a trap those are some smart fishs

[@georgepap5771]

this is fantastic

[@thewhitefamily4020]

I will try thank you are kind

[@paul198742069]

[@TheHowToHobbyist]

[@thatguyatsubway9592]

I did this and caught so many more in my pond

[@357Gunz]

[@marknutt6812]

Wow, a long lost member of the Chuckle Brothers.

[@MineAndGrind]

It works, yesterday at La Jolla In California, i caught a baby surf perch in a minow trap i made out of a water bottle

[@chumpoun]

Is this illegal in resorvoirs?

[@slugbug155]

Nice I might use that trick

[@mtkstudios3010]

[@brianhumphreys4262]

wow talk about a life hack!

[@bjorntoulouse7523]

Also works for slugs in the garden, baited with peanuts. I was trying to catch a mouse but ended up with loads of slugs.

[@dragonmaster5993]

Arent does gambusia/ mosquito fish not minnows?

[@willfarkas2445]

When I saw this, I thought of McDonald's. "Fisha Fisha"

[@MegaBait1616]

great idea.

[@mellwood1987]

Minnows are 5-10 cents apiece here in Arkansas where i live, anything that you can use to save money is a great idea....

[@catking8410]

Thx I'm looking for free fish for my aquarium and using a net is to much trouble This trap is way better

[@faulenzer1228]

hey i tried this at home and no fish what so ever wanted to go into the Trap.. I put the Bread inside and into the Water. Could someone give me please some tipps about this?.Thanks

[@joelmolina9044]

Dude I'm from Mexico and I did that too but in Mexico way bigger fish and I got more than that with tortillas

[@eduardbaz6822]

here's a good minnow trap for your brain: the sentence below is true. the sentence above is false.

[@MariaSanchez-vk8yc]

avater543 will try it

[@stevehumphrey667]

That's cool! Better than paying $4 for a dozen
