Minnow trap

[KPH]

A long long time ago I had a minnow trap that screwed on a large mouth gallon jug. It worked great in creeks. I got it in my head I want another one but can't find one. Does anyone know where I mite can find one I have looked on the internet in most places

You can reverse the top from a 2 liter bottle and make one the same way.

It took me a minute but I can see that. I know I go a lot of minnow with one

They are cheap at academy. Like $5.

I have a few that I use in the creek in my property. Add some bread an my son has a hundred or more baits in 10 minutes or less.

Yeah, sorry. I didn't realize you were looking for the specific thing you had before. I've never seen what you describe but then again I haven't been in the minnow game too long.

Set one of those on end with some sugar water inside is also a good way to catch hornets.

I just ordered 5,000 minnows for my crappie fishing but I have a large pond and I've sectioned off an area of it in the shade near the aerator that I toss them in. I sometimes just scoop with a net but sometimes I just grab the trap out. I got tired of running around town looking for minnows during the spring lol.

Where do you order them, and how do you have your pond sectioned off?

Sorry for the delay Tn Larry. I order thru my local feed and seed store. They'll let me know when the fish truck is coming by and I'll place my order at that timm. How I have it section off is just wooden stake about 3-4' high and staple screen porch screening on the stakes
