OK I set my minnow trap today.

[noreaster]

I meant to take a picture of my trap and line but I just got finished setting it in the river now.

it's raining cats and dogs and got soaked in the five minutes it took to do so.

I'll check it tonight to see if it has anything inside.

Not sure what to use for bait so i just tied a bit of bread dough inside of it.

same as this one except it is black.

By the way,, This is the river.

Points to whoever can pronounce it correctly without looking it up.
Unless you already know that is.

Bread dough wont last. What are you looking to catch??

You should try canned catfood.

When you get the can open the top only 1/2 way that way the catfood doesn't fall out easily. Dump it in the trap and see what you'll get.

Stay away from oily type ones. Water based is better

I have used bread when I was a kid it worked great, though I was with the trap when working with it. Let us know how it works for you.

Dog food canned or dry works well too..

Also a can of tuna with holes punched in it.

For catching different kinds of catfish, use chicken livers (will also catch crays).

I use a can of sardines to catch lobster in the summer maby that would work as well.

Hey forget I said that .

I have never caught anything on bread. I have caught most of my fish on dry dog food or chicken. Oddly enough, I have never caught anything on fish food either.
