Hey gang,
This is my third year trapping my own bait from the same spot and I'm having a huge problem: the majority of my bait is dead when I arrive. I just pulled my trap after 48 hours and I would say two thirds of my bait fish were dead. This happened once last year and it was only a few fish. My dad thought I might have put too much bread in so the shiners bloated and croaked. I'm also catching a ton of tiny bullhead this year. Could that be part of the issue? Are the bullheads stabbing my bait to death? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
