Traps are pretty useless unless you have a specific target and a whole lot of time. A small seine (4' x 4') usually costs under 10 U.S. dollars.
useless? i have the 8 doller variety about 18 inches and i can fill it up in 20 mins. go to my local creek were the hole is and put dog food in it throw it out and sit. easy

I guess if you don't care what you catch then that's fine. Most here want to actually sample a stream and discover as many species as possible in a given stream. I can do this is 1/10 the time and 10 fold volume with a seine over any legal trap you can use.
Have you ever used a seine?
shrimp net,but ya about the same thing.dogfish;1080323; said:Butterfly net?
shrimp net is a round net on a 6' pole.
throw bread by the minnows and while there eating scoop them up.
or just scoop in grass and water plants.
or an umbrella net.
in my diy thread below i made some good bait bags for my umbrella net.
this setup works the best to get minnows for me.

I have an 8' cast net. I go to a marina dock, throw some bread in, throw the net over a feeding frenzy of sunfish and minnows and I'm set.
ok,so like in my diy bait bags thread.Aquaman_95;1080946; said:
fill one with bread and the other with ham.
or do minnows not like ham too?
