So this year I decided to start trapping minnows again for live bait use.
After careful consideration I will no longer use wire mesh minnow traps.
I tried several times with the black ones and the other ones. Nothing!!!
My friend has glass minnow jugs but moved away because he got cancer.
I got froggy and sucked down 20 2 liters & 2.75 liters after swearing off pop.
Talk about being sick.
With just a little bread I caught a few hundred minnows and golden shiners.
Bait for days!
Everyone laughed when I made my tank.
They all use big plastic drums with fancy aerators and bilge pumps to circulate water. All them minnows needed was water skis and a lifeguard.
I used a triple thick Styrofoam cooler that I had on hand.
I drilled a hole in the lid and bought a small aquarium aerator from Walmart.
I had to change the water more often, but the triple thickness kept the fish from being affected by the hot day cold night fall climate we have here in Kentucky.
People laughed but I caught this and a few of its friends.
