Those gee g40 traps catch me way more minnows than the black frabills. Nice video

Thanks

Awesome set!!! Love the dive stick setup and moss camo. 👍

Cool video. We use popcorn in our traps , couple handfuls in each trap....works awesome

Look at the clover leaf minnow traps. Facebook marketplace, place in Northwest Iowa had some. I don't use bait for minnows.

I bought a couple of those plastic preformed ponds, i catch bait and buy goldfish and that where i keep my bait for the year

Enjoy seeing your pond, it looks great

Try putting your bait in a ziploc bag and then snip one of the bottom corners off just a bit. The water can go in the bag but it will allow your bait to dissipate more slowly

1 gallon caning jar make funnel with screen. Use lid to hold funnel in place. A little corn meal in jar. Stick and string to keep jar in place..

Absolutely loving the minnow trapping and feedings

When it gets warmer float a pallet in your pond and the minnows should spawn on it

Awesome!

That’s the kinda place I like the umbrella net. Net gets full jerk em up and go home lol

Dry Cheerios for Bait they work really good

If you have creeks that are shaded with deep holes like the beaver dams you blow when those fill up again those will be honey holes. Anything shady and deep with undercut banks are killer spots

Thats very cool bro!

Get some mesh material and make some bait bags. That way you just move the bag out of the way. If it were me I would use chopped up shrimp in a bag.

Great job sir!

I always prefer the rectangular traps that fold flat. They're easier to store and carry, as well as they have a seperate bait pouch so the fish and bait don't mix together. They're probably not as durable as your traps though.

Looking good!

COOL!

I like your channnel because you don’t get a douche and buy stuff everyday. Straight to the point videos

🍻🍻

Trapper J, bagels work really good in minnow traps

Not sure if you do, but, you should fill your minnow holder, with water from your pond, instead of water from where you get the minnows. That way, you do not introduce any nasties, from that water, into your pond. Also, for crawdads, etc. you need a meat based bait, like worms. Also, should put the bait in something, and connect it, to the trap, to keep it isolated, so, when you, take the minnows out, they only come out. Plus, you can use less bait, as it will stay together, and, last longer.

I always use wet catfood in just crack the can open a little bit

You can also use can cat food with ice pick holes punch in the can and tie it up in center of the trap will work great

One more thing you can make some kick ass minnow traps with 1/4 inch carpenters mesh a tube soldered with a cone on each end and a trap door in the middle. The seem to like the bigger traps.

Awesome ❤❤😂😂

Thanks for showing that fish kill even 10 miles downstream. I bet most people didnt know.

Put your old Christmas trees in your pond, somewhere for minnows to survive, they could start spawning, good place for fish to hide too

👍🏻😎🇺🇸

Get some of the mesh traps

Hey man try just straight cheapest hot dogs only break them into chunks I did a comparison last summer and it out did anything else by double. I think it's because the hotdogs take forever to break down so they have to go in the trap.

Panty hose with bait avoids separating your minnows from your bait. Just make a panty hose ball and throw it in. You can make them in advance and have them ready

A couple of the fishing channels I watch use cast nets to catch minnows and other small bait fish. Maybe you should get one of those and throw it in that spot where there are so many minnows.

If u can even catch 50 minnows every 2 days thats gotta save a fortune at the bait shop in the long run but might be worth setting up a couple of quarantine ponds have them at somthing like 0.6 saline and keep then for a week in that so with 2 u could fill one for a week while the other one sits so once a week u could add a ton in

Justin the minnow whisper. When the shrooms start to pop I want to come out. Will bring you a flat of crawlers and flat of red wigglers for Ricky and Bobby. Need to name the perch Percy

need some type of shade for those guys, keep working the pond looks great.

If they consume the bread in the trap don't the minnows just bloat and die before or shortly after you trap them? Or does it matter for what you're using them for?

take the top off a can of cat food and put the can in the trap. cat food with fish in it works best

Those black traps don't work as well as the silver.

I've had more luck out of the shiny metal traps than I've ever had out of the black ones. Idk if it's the coating they use on the black ones or what.

U gotta spreed out the traps

Ngl it's gonna be crack up if one of those minnows survive and grow into a cat or a bass or something along those lines

Try some sort of meat base bait. I read one of the other comments said canned cat food. I always used beef liver, but sometimes u would get a snapping turtle tear up your trap

add the minnow farm to add to the spareklyness of your lures?

You should build a small stalk tank pond to farm your minnows

Try hotdogs they work better then bread😊

Try and catch a few more big crappie, 12-15 inches, and put them in there.

If you met them use a pool net you will catch everything

Jay do you have any minnows that can spread disease! We have an issue up north with the raised minnows "suckers" get a white fungi that they spread. Just thought you might want to check with your local fish biologists. Your pond is beautiful and healthy don't want to see anything happen to it Awesome job on your videos and platform in general. Your lures and baits are going to hit the national level as One of the best names in the Business some time in the not to far future!"MY PREDICTION" YOUR LURES AND BAITS ARE KICK ASS. JAY I USE A CAN OF CAT FOOD JUST CRACK IT OPEN THE OILS AND LITTLE PIECES GRT EM IN ONCE ONE IN THE ROAD IS SET THEY KEEP COMING.

I think you could have used tannerite and got more

What are laws for transporting minnows

Hang a treble hook with worms in the middle of the hole, so it’s visible from both sides

Hello Trapper J, I'm curious about how old your black vinyl traps are ? Are the hooks and loops breaking of yet? has the mesh separated from the rings yet? We also make a crawfish trap that will last you a long time. If you would like to know more reply to this comment. Thanks for purchasing a Gee's G-40 galvanized minnow trap.

Way too much bait in the traps, you will get better results if you would use less. Like 3 pieces of dog food or half a slice of bread is more then enough per trap, especially on small and still water like that. I personally would use a small ball (egg size) of ground bait cause small fish like small particles and in 24 hours thats gone when checking the traps, no messy bait leftovers.

Bread sucks they can eat it from outsid the trap fish heads or poke holes in s a can of cat food

I use either a small amount of dog food or no bait at all. Find a deep hole in a crick. Also, you can make clips out of clothes hangers. Good luck!!!

MDC used to have a fish collector permit you could get if it was educational based. I think your channel is educational. It allows you to seine and keep species you otherwise aren't supposed to using a seine. I was replacing a preserved fish collection in HS that was 20yrs old. Not sure if it would apply to a pond but might be worth checking out. We caught all kinds of crazy looking fish I had no clue existed in MO out of a small branch of the Salt River.

They sell bait bags to go in them I like these videos
