my diy fish trap....

[Dr Joe]

just build the frame out of wood or pvc pipe.
cover with metal screen
cut x and bend in tabs
going to make a new design soon.
will post pics when i do it


you can help pay for a p.i to watch the spot

Ok, Upscale the trap to 30ftx50ftx18ft, when they walk into it to get to their traps you got 'em, they won't be able to find their way out..Ha hah...pure genius (just check the trap more than once a week ).

.

I came really close to getting my 'C' license (first P.I. license). Then I found out that watching fish traps and cheating spouses will get boring pretty quick...I still got the paper that says I am qualified.

But you get paid to watch fish and women, maybe your own TV show (youtube ).

But just like the health dept., don't p/u your girlfriend on the job.

Midnight, love all your DIY and netting escapades.

I think you should start a sticky on every species of fish you have caught in Florida waters with at least on pic of each and just keep updating.

keep up the awesome threads

and the thread idea is a good idea,not sure where it would go tho

This is what we do in Louisiana:

take an old truck tire, drill holes in the sidewalls, using heavy thread or mono thread the inside of the tire up in sort of a cross hatch to secure the interior, leave about a four to five inch gap from where you stop stitching...throw in a can of tuna with a couple holes poked in the can, tie it to a long rope.......catfish for days...total cost$under five bucks
