Minnow Trapping with Glow Sticks -Unconventional Baits-

[@odatmatt]

Know how to catch all the grasshoppers you want? Find a hay field with hoppers in it, back your truck into the field and open both doors and then back up as fast as you can. you will have hoppers jumping on the doors and inside, when the truck fills up slam the doors and pick the bugs up!

[@ryanford7836]

Hahaha

[@operatoreng]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@YsabetJustYsabet]

Nice and practical; think I'll try this when I go camping in the spring. Thanks!

[@vice6996]

Definitely interesting, Bob. Never woulda thunk it. Even to use it to draw bugs away from camp is genius. Great vid.

[@sameold77]

Very cool and creative idea. I just found my old minnow trap that I hadn't used in 20 years. Im definitely going to try this. Thank you.

[@BobHansler]

Nostalgia with a bit a new trick. Glad you enjoyed the vid.

[@wizbangIWD]

It seems that the green would work better than yellow, they make yellow light bulbs to NOT attract insects, of course I've never used yellow bulbs so I can't say from first hand experience. They also make white glow sticks, they're a little hard to find but I think they'd be the best over all. Nice video by the way. ;)

[@djomegaminus]

BadAss!!! Gonna utilize this trick! Maybe even adapt it a bit to use a small white lantern instead of glowsticks. Hope you're feeling better Bob!!

[@acet7]

Neat trick, thanks for the advice on the dollar store ones that might have already been broken.

[@mikeries8549]

A couple weeks ago I'd never seen or heard of a minnow trap. Thanks to youtube I've now spent hours learning all about it. Now to go to the city park with creek and catch some. I can't wait to meet the game warden and the police force of a major city. It'll be a great ice breaker.

[@garryflint7419]

Just make sure of the restrictions of type and number of minnows that you can have. Different states counties and even bodies of water may have different rules.

[@xxskippernate409xx6]

Yeah, also make sure that you aren't catching any fry (baby fish). I thought I had two mudskippers in my first trap, I was looking for minnows. When the "mudskippers" didn't survive out of the water as long as they were supposed to, I remembered a strange looking fish that we have here - Lingcod. I caught two baby lingcod and thought they were mudskippers. Rookie mistake, I won't make it again. But I hope nobody else makes that same one. I wasn't too familiar with mudskippers, other than I see them in brackish water tide pools.

[@bradleykmdean]

This is such a good idea thanks man

[@oysterace]

might could use one of those sidewalk solar lights instead of the glowsticks.

[@BobHansler]

Brilliant idea. That'd probably produce more light and attract them more efficiently. Renewable solar lighting... Thanks for the inspiration sir.

[@samwilliams5283]

Just the top if you place it in the trap bugs will escape when you open it to remove it. Duct tape on or glue a magnet on to hold it on the trap.

[@gooutside6055]

that's a cool trick, Years ago I saw some green submersible lights you could use to attract fish.

[@samwilliams5283]

I wonder if it will work to use a solar light stake top poked through the mesh just the LED not the stake. Remove before tossing in the water.

[@tomm2812]

Clever, very clever. I will try this out this weekend. Best

[@BobHansler]

Have fun with it. Thank for watching.

[@jcruz8586]

what if u put part of an ant or bugs nest in the trap and dip it in water to remove dirt and hopefully leave most of the insects inside . 😓 just an idea , do you think it would work?

[@DARK24-7]

Nice-only thing is all the fish/etc. you catch thought here was a rave in the trap.

[@mastocytoma1]

Love the way your mind works man! Be sure that if SHTF I'm trekking it to the great state of TX to be sure I have some great neighbors!

[@BobHansler]

Not the most interesting video, but a cool trick that some will find useful.

[@nikmoist4558]

Where about in Texas do you live. Don't have to be specific.

[@BobHansler]

Id thought that, but gave them a try anyway... didn't work.

[@MrAwawe]

Just because they can't distinguish that color light from other colors doesn't mean they don't see the light. There are light sensitive receptors in our eyes that only see in black and white and they're what we use to see at night. I would bet pigs and deer would have them too.

[@JA-gx4hb]

Bob, I thought it was pretty darn interesting. My boys and I will try it tonight.

[@haynerbass]

Would it help any if you put a sleeve of sorts over the trap so that the light really only comes out of the ends? That way they would only be flying toward the entrances instead of trying to get in through the sides.

[@AdventurewithNick]

Cool video bro never wouldve thought glowsticks.

[@franklingartrell]

I love your channel bro!

[@trapper3707]

Gonna try this out this weekend. Thanks for this idea!

[@derekpierce1894]

Just recently stumbled upon your videos. Very informative and greatly entertaining. Keep up the good work!

[@topshot95]

What brand of minnow trap do u use cuz i cant seem to find any with a smaller hole them 1 3/4 in

[@BobHansler]

Gees

[@altair458]

Wow!!! I like this idea👍👍👍👍👍

[@jamesfranklin5541]

have you tried setting it in shallow water for catching minnows or shiners around and after sundown?

[@davidkinney7814]

WOW - - - Great vid and thanks for sharing. Love your informational and instructive channel , have learned a lot. Again thanks and best wishes from N. E. Texas.

[@BobHansler]

Glad you found the channel. Producing full time now,, more to come soon.

[@magicjones9465]

and once again good job bob....

[@cillaloves2fish688]

This is a cool idea! Never thot of glow sticks!

[@tonynapoli5549]

Good trick Bob must try it. Thanks 👌👍🇬🇧

[@joelwaugh987]

Great stuff! I love the videos and can't wait to try this out. Thanks!

[@Mike-yl6hs]

GREAT IDEA BOB!!! m

[@Sdbbffsd]

Thank you

[@AlexT-cn4bn]

Another great video! Very interesting trick!

[@BobHansler]

Options are good to have. Have a larger vid that should come out by Wednesday. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@theduyvenbode3862]

It would be interesting to see what kinds of lizards you could catch in a future vid

[@detroitredneckdetroitredne6674]

Great video Brother that is a cool tip save money and get your money's worth for something that was going to be thrown away 👍👍👍

[@robertomora5154]

dude that is a really neat trick

[@BobHansler]

Glad you liked it. Have a big trapping vid coming up in the next 2 days. Keeping it going.

[@robertomora5154]

+Bob Hansler I'll be sure to watch

[@miller17013]

might be a great idea for catching bugs for chickens if anyone comes up with a way to catch grasshoppers in large amounts please tell me i could feed a flock of chickens on the amount of them around

[@dannyh9010]

This is how my cousin and I did it before fishing when we were kids. Take and old fuzzy blanket and hold it stretched between you and a helper and walk a field with it. (The vintage 100% acrylic ones our mom's all had, and you can constantly find at Goodwill for $2 work great). The hoppers barbed legs will stick to the fuzz like Velcro. Pluck them off by the dozens.

[@brunoortiz1961]

What knive are you using

[@kryspyhohos1238]

awesome videos man love reptiles I have two bearded dragons 6 year old and 7 keep up the videos awesome traps works well

[@BobHansler]

Going to work on the primitive stuff for a while. Seasons are about to change and there is always something to cover. Glad you found the channel. Cheers.

[@patrickbryanoutside7416]

Thanks for the tips, well done sir

[@BobHansler]

Grad you enjoyed it. More to come soon.

[@kurtamey-seward4656]

what do you use for line to pull the trap back in ???

[@dmitri5744]

Kurt Amey-Seward He uses paracord

[@andrewhernandez9549]

This is a really neat tip but I was thinking. Will the chemicals of the glow sticks effect what you trap and how you decide to use it? Thanks again for the awesome videos.

[@tobyparker8936]

That's a great idea

[@saltofpetra-4502]

Would a cheap dollar flashlight work better attracting bugs?

[@BobHansler]

Most likely, they would give more light. The batteries would be a factor though, and you would want to make sure it was LED instead of incandescent.

[@dustinrossi9384]

Nice man! Gonna try that

[@AngelPerez559]

Were is that I want to catch crayfish

[@rebelsv5246]

awesome video that's smart I would have never thought of that lol nice video

[@BobHansler]

It is an option. Glad you found the channel.

[@littlet52103]

Love it 😊

[@not_hacking1252]

[@BobHansler]

There were a few small crayfish down in that trap, so yea. Might have gotten larger ones had the openings been made bigger.

[@KIMI-xt4eb]

only you would want to attrack bugs camping..lol..just teasing,,,,,,,,,,,great idea,,,,,,,'''''',be well''''''' camper BOB ...ALWAYS SO IMFORMATIVE..........BY THE WAY CAN ORDER GLOW STICKS BULK ON AMAZON

Where can i buy a trap

[@BobHansler]

Local sports and fishing retail stores. I buy most of mine from Ebay or Amazon.

[@GPTInDaHouse]

Walmart, Bass pro, Cabela's, Academy, etc

[@markamark123]

The 2 people who disliked had a broken glow stick.

[@gregwright392]

Cool tip!

[@BobHansler]

Options are good. Thank for watching.

[@jackyjan3708]

By the way the glow stick tactic is a good idea

[@BobHansler]

It's an option. Glad you liked it.

[@efrainrodriguez6311]

excuse me sir what is your current job occupation? if you don't mind me asking of course

[@BobHansler]

[@jackyjan3708]

Can you do more crawfish videos I have a sim miler stream to your I've tried night and in the shade and out I know their there because I caught one with my bear hands even with dog food bacon and ham

[@BobHansler]

I am working on a large one today, but I will have to scale back and work more on primitive skills vids for a time. Have to do what is popular and most desired until I get my income up to livable.

[@joegarcia1674]

As always, until next time.

[@matthewspicer5815]

you know thats something ive never thought much about how we feed our dogs in a survival situation?? sounds like next show huh

[@BobHansler]

It would be a chore in some ways... but having a pup to act as a second set of ears eyes and nose... is priceless out in the wilds.

[@aheadsup6492]

ingenuous.

[@BobHansler]

It's an option. Always something new out there.

[@219garry]

Cool, but I honestly thought the video was gonna be just glow sticks in the trap to catch minnows

[@magicjones9465]

cool

[@Dr.RichardStroker]

Alright Alright Alright

[@diegoguerra8857]

you should try cooking egg in a cactus

[@BobHansler]

Can do. Appreciate the advice.

[@melvinnewcomb6353]

Nice science project , but I'm going to stick with 🐕 food or 🍞, it's a lot faster. thanks

[@Riker626]

Nothing wrong with catching bugs for bait with a light source but catching fish with a light source is illegal in most places.

[@mrt1320]

most insects & possibly most animals see ultraviolet & not red.

[@urieltellez5032]

I sub

[@ericsmith7246]

if you put the glow Sticks in the microwave they get brighter

[@AngelPerez559]

Crawfish

[@frugalgardener7921]

Trading glow sticks for minnows....

[@taijrosenful]

Bread is cheaper

[@Crushonius]

protip dont buy stuff at the dollar store most of it actually costs less than a dollar in normal stores

[@sambonelife7485]

You could put dog crap inside and watch it fill up with flies....seriously

[@dmitri5744]

Premium WHITEcracker 😂 Your comment made me laugh so hard even if it is true!

[@zirkanov1150]

you need to make your hand wet before you toucht a fisch, you injured a fisch protection layer agains sicknes, so they fish is weaker agains sicknes

[@daddysealtx]

do flies work?

[@BobHansler]

Extremely well.
