Sure wish I had your "eat anything" minnows 🤣. These Colorado minnows laugh at attempts to trap them. Haven't found the right bait yet, but dog/cat food didn't work. Bread didn't work either.

crushed vienna sausage and a boiled egg still in the shell but crushed enough for the yellow to start falling apart has always worked for a full trap in just about 10 minutes

Hey Austin, I had sent the SST (Salt Strong Team) two emails with questions which you answered: One email on 11/9 was entitled "Types of Lures to Use." And the other on 11/27, entitled "Braided Fishing Line Questions." Nice to put a face to your replies. Thanks for all you and the other team members do!

My favorite bait hook for smaller live bait like mud minnows and sand fleas is a 1/0 gamakatsu Octopus hook. It’s got the right size for most small bait and it’s stout enough to not have to worry about it bending out

I have found that if your trap is shallow the mud minnows can see you approaching and will swim out really fast. I think it’s best to stay out of sight and pull your trap fast to really get all that are in there. I make little golf balls of cat food and fish flakes and freeze them for bait. They work great.

Blue crab is the absolute best bait for the Mud Minnows, hands down. the best method is to crush the crab and put in a panty hose inside the trap, it will keep them from tearing it to pieces and allow more to come in the trap after fresh food. You can reuse the same panty hose multiple times before they tear it up. I catch 1-2 dozens per pull most of the time in an hours time. I have a 55 gallon drum in my apartment ive turned into a live well. I can keep 20-30 dozen at a time alive for weeks or even months if i feed them and replace the water atleast once.

I do have a question for you my friend. I drop my traps in with The appropriate bait and I get a couple of chubs and basically a trap filled with dozens and dozens of green crabs.. I would sell my dog if I could figure out a way to MacGyver the traps so they were six or eight inches above the bottom so the crabs would have more of a chore than getting in. I live in Marshfield and we have miles and miles of ditches Dug by veterans following world war II. The problem is they are bone dry when the tide is out but I'm still trying to find the right spots. Any suggestions on reducing the number of crabs in the trap or locations that are brackish but don't go dry? No worries you have a great day my friend.

We have mud minnows as well. The type we have are first cousins with the northern pike. They hunt like pike,and act like pike. They are very much protected in my state I am not allowed to use them for bait.

Wouldn't it be better if those traps were made with half a basket and half a bucket without holes... !?! That way when you pull it out you already have your bucket And they will obviously find their way in with only one hole at one end but it would be harder for them to out so thats also better
