Use Raw chicken. That is what we use crabbing and Crawfish and bluegills love the chicken. Plus it stays in the cage for a long time. The only reason you got Two is because the bread maybe only lasted 30 minutes. Put like 2 pounds of chicken legs in there and you will have all the Crawfish you could ever want.
Pro tip if you need minnow bait. Go to a Subway and ask if they have any bread they are throwing away, they throw out bags of foot longs every day. If your to shy to ask just go in there dumpster after they close. (Dumpster diving video)
.22 magnum is going a lot faster then a standard .22 so it will go through something like that a lot faster which will then make the entry and exit holes smaller.
Not necessarily true, if it is a hollow point, then more velocity equals more expansion and therefore greater entry and exit. Its called expansion threshold. IF they go too slow they actually wont expand at all
pry the lid off and make a funnel design, but larger, of the smaller minnow traps. take some heavier duty metal fence to design the funnel shape then take the smaller wire that you used on the other side and wrap the bigger one in it Like so flair can see
I usually never get stuck on one RU-vid page mainly cause I work 50 hours a week and have a 1 year old so I never really have the time, but you, my good man, you have me watching every new video you post within hours or even minutes of you posting it. Keep it up bro!!! P.S. congrats on the engagement I just got engaged on 4th of July!
You need to cut the the other end completely off and make a cone that recesses in the barrel with the aluminium wire fence you bought, you'll get way more. Just think like the 2 liter soda bottle trap. Also where you would put the cone there's that lip, make the cone so it folds over the lip and fing a bungee cord With the hooks on both sides and wrap it around the cone for a quick disconnect to get the crayfish and minnows out
Flair: “the waters not going to get through that net get something bigger” Me: noni! Totally not like the water can MOVE or anything! 2 seconds later Flair: boom we’re geniuses
Add a more stronger mesh in the front and back and drill a hole on one side in the middle. Or instead of drilling a hole, get a 2l bottle cut it in half and fit the funnel side inside. (Like the water bottle minnow trap) Like so Flair sees this!
Cut multiple holes in the sides 3in wide using the screen you have as a crawfish door flap on each one they can come in but won’t be able to walk out. Use a staple gun to attach the screen next time Make a “trap door” on the side that you can latch shut so you can retrieve your bounty. Last mod; make a hanging bait holder with larger holed screen this way it attracts the bait fish you are going for. Good luck! Can’t wait to see what you guys do to make this better
cut the top off, cut in half, connect 2 halves with a ring of metal mesh and then add a metal mesh cone to each end facing inward. true giant minnow trap
I’m a 11 year old boy and I love fishing at my lake house we tried to clear as much seaweed as we could and there is Muskie in the lake can’t you tell me what to use to catch it but your awesome
One reason why the .22 bullet holes were bigger was because you were probably using hollow points which expand on impact while the .22 mag bullets were just regular bullets which don’t expand and just go straight through. I’m just guessing I don’t know what kind of rounds you guys are using. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work 👍👍
Cut the other end off and then use wire screen material from Tractor Supply. It is almost the same material used to make store bought minnow traps, it is strong enough that the screws alone will hold it, and you can cut it with wire snips to create entrances for minnows and crawfish.
Goodness, I haven't even got past you cutting the barrel yet and I can't help but think "man, they need someone on the crew that's actually worked with their hands."
Gotta make the entrance hole like the store bought traps that funnels into the trap. Use hardware cloth with 1/4 inch spacing. Bread and dog food for minnows and throw some raw chicken or liver in there for crawfish. Use some zip ties to hold the funnel part on, that way you can just cut a few off to get the minnows and crawfish out easier.
Use washers behind the screws to have a tighter grip on the screen. They give you a larger circumference and evens out the pressure to hold it tighter.
they could probably easily swim out. in a normal minnow trap it is a funnel, that makes it easier to get in, but harder to get out, try to make a funnel out of the metal mesh for the entrance
Flair I'd recommend cutting the top off and making a cone like entrance out of the sheet wire like you mentioned it'll give them an easier entrance and will act more as a funnel for the minnows aswell
Guess I could've read other comments before commenting seems like about a million other people had the same idea and I'd love to see another video of you modifying and doing another overnight session with it
