What bait for a minnow trap?
#5
The carnal offerings I mentioned were intended more for the Crawdads or Mudbugs.

As TubeDude, my Dad mentioned, bread is the better attention getter for the minnows. I too like the wheat bread as it holds up better without turning into a milky cloud in the water.

Wheat bread is the charmer. They do sell small bait baskets which can tie into the bottom of your basket or you can take a creative approach and make your own nylon mesh bread ball holders or even borrow some panty hose from a female friend.

You only need to make golf ball size bait bags and tie them to the trap with a zip tie or equivalent.

I make meaty bait bags in the big Salty for catching Crab and Lobster.

I also use some of the fish products that I catch, like Anchovy, Sardine or Mackeral to make bait bags for catching Catfish.

You will find a bait that will work better for you in different waters.[cool]
