OK I set my minnow trap today.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Have you cought anything in the minnow trap?
 
I caught a creek chub last year, I put him in with my goldfish. He died after about two weeks. Sudden Float Syndrome.
 
I caught a 4 inch chub and while in the process of covering the holes by my filters i took a break when I returned he jumped out and was swimming around in back of the filter.

And a small yellow perch also.
 
I have kept creek cchubs before, they are a lot of fun...eat like horses. I would love to put a few in a 75g or something and grow them to their max size (about a foot long). I have never actually seen one that large, the largest I have caught were probably 5".
 
I caught mine in a minnow trap, I have no idea how they got in there, I guess they were motivated.
 
My chub that I caught last night hardly fit in the trap. I have no idea how he got in there. I think that they are very squishy. He is deffinatly more round than the hole.
