Trapp'in Minner's

[HD]

The creek is running, and so are the minnows.
So I dropped the trap to see what I'll get.....

Muskrats.

Good luck. curious to find out.

[LPS]

That's almost as fun as catching the fish..   

[Jerkbiat]

Cool. Good luck!

[Gunner55]

Dad tried that here a few times, never had much luck though.

[HD]

I checked the trap this morning, about 3 dozen or so.
It's early yet, as it thaws the run becomes more heavy.
Mostly sticklebacks and mud minnows so far with a few fatheads.

one weekday trip up north years back when Rocky owned the spring lake store i caught him in the act trapping minnows on our way to bowstring. he sold them at the store. i also know a little lake he trapped them in, but i was sworn to secrecy!!!!  unfortunately he did himself in some years back.  guess he battled depression.

Checked the trap when I got home...4 dozen minnows but, only 9 of those were fatheads.

[LPS]

So another complete success.     We as kids always thought sticklebacks grew up to be northerns.

Production is increasing...
Probably 8 to 10 dozen minnows in the trap tonight, with a yield of close to 3 dozen of "good" minnows

Hopefully otters don't find your trap.

Toss um back in the creek.

hmmm figured you'd dispose of them??

[Jerkbiat]

So do you put them in your pond for later use or just to put them in your pond?

[HD]

I got a mesh box at the end of the dock to keep some in for later use. Otherwise, I'll throw a trap in the pond and catch some.

I try not to keep to many in the box cause sometimes it gets raided by the otters and turtles.

Got about 6 -7 dozen today...
