how much food do u put in a bait trap, tryed 2 spots no luck, still looking for the sweet spot. any help in the waterboro area would be help full. thanks and merry x mas
Just a handful, I like Gravy Train. I put mine in little sections of the mesh landry bags and just gather it together with a rubber band. After two days I change out, takes no time to gather your bait this way, works slick.
Or you could do it my way and just dump some kibbles in and give her a toss. Then you retrieve a big mess of mushy food mixed with crumb covered shiners. Then transfer that mess into bait bucket, and finally some amount even will make it to your bait barrels...maybe I should try your way gamefisher. ...still learning.
Do you guys put all your dog food in the bait bag or do u leave a little in the trap too?
Wifes panty hose works great for chum holdin!
I just eeeeeeased my fat a$$ out to put my traps back in.... that was a little hairy. I think I'll wait till tomorrow to go check them!
I couldn't even get out to mine without taking a bath, no thanks, guess they are going to get a little extra soak time.
If you use a long rope, how do you get it through the hole? Wouldn't it toggle in the hole? I tied it to a standing dead tree. The other traps I put in are on a long rope, and they are easibly retreavable, but they are on the bottom and are not through the ice, under.
Little over 3 dozen today, reset-same bait, black traps. WoooHooo!I know 3 doz isn't much for some guys, but for me, it's a good pull! I truly enjoy doing it, so I'm glad it takes more than 1 or 2 times for my entire season's worth, but I bet it is sure exciting to pull a single trap with 5 dozen shiners in it...
DOES ANYONE EVER TRY BAIT TRAPS FOR SMELT?
how do you guys feel about this? i know this road with tons of ponds on it and i was looking for a new bait spot. i finally found one with bait so i set traps out there and there was no sign of anyone else trapping there. i pulled my traps with the warm rainy weather coming in and today i went back to set them and i noticed a new hole with a bait line going into the water. Do you guys think its a big deal two people trapping the same pond? i reset my traps on the other side of the pond where i had set them before and was going to pick them up tomorrow morning
I just set a couple of traps in a small pond and the water is really cloudy does anyone now if that is a problem the water is about 3 to 4 feet deep?
went and checked my traps again this morning, I had a single shiner in 2 of my traps. I dumped the bait and put new bait into bags and reset them, I hope that makes them have to go into the traps to get the bait. I have caught 3 fish now, at this rate it will take me a month to get a dozen.
