Don't get me wrong, black traps will catch shiners, but I have found the galvi ones to numb em. Side by side comparison has proven it. I'm just saying if your gonna buy some new then avoid the black traps.
I have to get a few of the galvi traps i guess . I want to see this side by side comparison for myself . I hope you guys are right . then I can cut my trapping time in half . thanks for the tip
I spray painted my black ones with white and the bait like it
I get bait in my black ones but my one galv will out fish my two black ones anyday.
Not really sure, maybe they can't find the opening as easily?? Everyone that I know that traps bait has had the same results with the black traps.
I'm not sure if any of you guys would know but... where do the bait shops get their PIN smelt? You know the tiny smelt that salmon are crazy for. Are they raised commercially then sold to bait shops? Do you ever find ponds with pin smelt in them? I know smelt are harder to take care of but I'm trying out the chest freezer/bait tank this season just to be able to keep the remaining bait at the end of the day alive. Can anyone share their knowledge of keeping smelt, either pin or lake smelt? TIA
Ok, a local friend just told me something and I'd like for you folks to confirm or tell me its BS. Im getting ready to build my first bait tank setup after spending HOURS of reading/researching. Ive thought I had all the aspects completely planned out was ready to start work tomorrow when I heard this..... "The inside of your bait tank has to be black! He told me fish will turn 'transparent' and lose almost all color in a white tank. Is there any truth to this? I only want to do this once and do it right the first time. Looking forward to hearing back from you who have been keeping bait for years! Thanks
I think it only applies to smelts.....
