Click the link for the first POV video: • Catching Fish from Ins...
This is a point of view (POV) video of a minnow trap catching fish in a salt marsh creek. The fish caught are sheepshead minnows and mummichogs which are very hardy and are used as a baitfish all the time. The bait inside the trap is a piece of hot-dog roll. You can see once one fish goes in, the rest start to follow... The more fish that move into the trap, the more that are willing to follow behind them!

The minnows naturally follow the edge and since the hole is at the end of a cone pointing inward, they follow the edge into the trap but cant follow the edge out of the trap. Some fish do figure it out, but maybe 1 for every 30 fish. Small black sea bass and blackfish (tog) are structure oriented and can move in and out of the trap like there is a huge hole!

They can, but it is extremely hard for them to find their way out. They follow the edge and since it is a cone, the edge doesnt lead them out.

They can't escape because they swim in a zig zag pattern which makes it more difficult to exit. The entrance is a funnel shape which helped guide them in the trap. This also applies to flies, they can't fly in a straight line.

Nothing more fun than catching minnows in the marshes. We used to do it with netting from onion and tater sacks and we would whack them with sticks at low tide. That was 40+ years ago. We would fish in the channel behind the beach house with them and caught whatever was biting that day. You brought a lot of memories back with this. Thank you.

The trap or the video? The trap is bought for $10-15. You can make one, but it is not really worth it. The video was made with a Go Pro and I zip-tied it to the opposite funnel you see in the video. I used a piece of cloth towel on the metal to prevent scratching the camera housing.

I am impressed with the time factor in which you can acquire so many bait fish in such a short period of time. I think I can speak for many fishermen and aquarium enthusiast when I say that it is well worth it to spend a little more money on a trap like the Gee's G-40 galvanized if it means less effort and better results. How long do your traps last versus the black vinyl ones? And, in what types of conditions? Freshwater / saltwater.

@chrisfix 11 жыл бұрын

I guess. They just cant find their way out because this isnt a typical habitat they use. They are use to following the marsh edge and creeks. Not funnels. Black sea bass, tog, cunner, etc are all examples of fish that would have no problem moving in and out of the trap. My professor had a camera hooked up to the trap back in the day and he said he saw a cunner in the trap, then a bigger cunner swam in, beat the snot out of the little cunner, and swam out of the trap all in 10 sec.
