Saw a minnow trap in Wal-Mart the other day and figured I'd give it a try. Whats the best bait to put in there if any of you know or use them. Thanks Billy

Yes they will but I've always done better with minnows.Quote:

A couple of bait shrimp work good or I take the shells from peel and eat shrimp and freeze the in a small plastic container and put the frozen block in the trap. My buddy uses cat crunchies in a mesh bag or a piece off panty hose, works too. I don't have a cat or wear panty hose so I use shrimp.
Hey Bill good to hear from you. Hows my jigs coming? No rush, just curious. I caught a 1.6 lb on one of your jigs the 14th over at Kerr.Quote:

I'm glad you didn't get hurt worse than you did. Sounds like we both need to retire.Quote:

I don't wear pantyhose either but, I did get caught taking them from my wife for that purpose. Here's a tip, don't explain just smile and walk away. :D
