Could This Be the Best Minnow Trap Bait Ever? 

Thanks so much for the shout out good buddy. You and all your followers are awesome, man. So much love and support.

As a joke you should get a lobster or two and put in a trap for Houston to find. Make a catch, clean and cook of it. Couple of chuckles and a great dinner.

😀 by the looks of the go pro footage, the blue gill and sunny minnows like those traps! Because, the don't get trapped in em! 😂 I don't have a creek to trap in, we have a shallow spot on the river, but I would not want to trap anything from there. Ill keep looking. Love you family videos! Thank you for sharing, have a Great Day!

Good laaawd Houston is adorable. He's a natural!

Chicken liver and gizzards are better for crawdad traps

Remember it flooded not too long ago, crawfish have to replenish, they do best in still water. There is a BIG difference between cream style corn and sweet corn. Keep it up, and remember, when you figure it out, someone will change the rules. Thumbs up!

" Technically we did 100% better." Always the bright side. That's awesome. Houston on the 4wheeler reminds me so much of my brother on his 1st 4wheeler... TFS

It would be funny if you ordered a bunch of live crawfish and filled that big trap with them and took Houston to check the traps. lol.

Was wondering how you were going to put creamed corn in the trap without making a mess lolololol

Crawdads go upstream in September- (Best time to catch them) we catch them at the top of the lake just below the next dam where they can't go any further.

Great Into! As a kid we would tie uncooked bacon on the end of a string to catch crawdads, maybe a few pieces might work.

He is just so awsome i have to catch back up had surgery but im glad im back missed this channel

Always enjoy watching 😊 keep it up!!!!

Hay y'all. Just got out of the hospital. Doing some catching up. Great video again Daniel 👍👌

Loved it, watching the little fishes come up close and personal, saying hello to all the fans!

Did you leave a can openers for the fish .lol

I'll support anyone you recommend I love your channel and everyone you recommend!😀

Go Ed! Love seeing Houston running around on the ATV you sent him. Awesome!

Your son is a awesome little man like the way he enjoys the outdoors. Your doing a great job with him. Thanks for being a Dad not just there. God bless and keep on keeping on.

I wish I could send you guys a picture of the crawdad I caught out of a creek this morning! HUGE

I love there videos and it's awesome that they be adventering all the time

Chicken Livers??? I Remember doing that once with friends when I was young....caught a lot. (In Kansas) hope you find success Houston 👍😊

I like the music you used for the fishing traps... cute👍Bear came to make sure you're doing it right! Good boy Bear and good Bella. Enjoy seeing them run with you 😁

That fish was like “what in the world is that thing?!” Looking at the camera

Crawdad's are like Lobster, Crab's or even a Buzzard they are carrion eater's the food has to stink to attract them to the source (The Trap).

Daniel, with the dog/cat food try a cheesecloth bag and put bait in it and tie the ends and tie to center of the trap. It will keep smell constantly in area, but bait won't disintegrate and wash away. Maybe not enough smell can get out of cans with just a few holes. Never had much luck with corn except for catfishishing.

Nice video and excellent intro little guy! Thanks for the share!

Love your channel. You have inspired me to start my own channel. Corn is king😁

50 years or so ago when I was a kid, we’d tie a safety pin to a string and thread that pin back and forth through a 1/2 piece of bacon. We’d lure the crawdads out of their holes and catch them by hand. Caught some huge ones that way. 6”-8” long. Maybe try bacon.

Sweet corn might work, but not cream style corn. Sorry.

Corn is always gooder !!! Love how active he is with your videos 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Bacon is my all time number one bait put 3 peices and you will for sure catch alot of crawdads corn also works just sweet corn thow not cream style thanks i would love to see more of these videos more often

Nice try... The biggest crawdad catch I have ever had was well over 100 in one trap. The bait of choice was a catfish carcass.. Give it a try!

Welcome back guys this is Huston from the best channel on you tube this is what I think

We’ve never tried it! But my daughter and I are excited about trying it out!

Hey guys.. great vid.. I'm in the same boat as Blake..lol.. just getting off the couch and into the RU-vid world. Your my favorite channel.. I haven't found my Niche yet but I'm working in it. Thanks for the inspiration 😌

12:42 i’m dead 🤣🤣🤣

Dang Houston....you rocked that intro young man. You do have an amazing teacher though. Be on high alert Daniel, Houston just may commendeer your channel.Lol God bless and be safe!!

I’ve always had good luck using a sane. Give that I try and you’ll get your catch and cook dinner.

Finally another trap video love the videos

Maybe you should used an ear of corn so they could eat off the cob. Hey Houston, enjoy your school days! Best wishes to your family

Always enjoy watching your videos. Maybe try chicken livers. Can't say if it will work, better luck next time. Take care and best wishes

The GoPro footage was pretty cool!

Chicken livers have always been my go to for crawdads, they work better the more fragrant they are so dont hurt to leave them out for a bit before using. Catfish also love them..

Love this Channel.

Danial, you better watch it, Huston is taking over your youtube, next, he will be teaching you what to do and changing the name to Hostons how to homestead! Maybe a future channel. ? lol.

Hi..... Daniel, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐩🌱🐐🐄🐠🎥👍👍👍

Great idea, works a treat!

Awesome intro Houston u are quite the commentator👍as always another great video guys 😁try some rag bologna in those traps it works great for me have a blessed day Arms family

Use dry dog food in bait box,Canned won't work.

Houston is becoming a pro at intros

Nice's videos keep up the good work making videos 💯 💢 🤗

I love these trapping videos can’t wait for hunting videos

Love your channel

Have you tried raw beef liver chunks? We always used liver to catch them from the canals and Rivers in Calif. We didn't use traps either. We attached a light rope to it and dropped it in a hole (river) or near the drops/fall in the canal and within minutes we were pulling them back up, covered with crawdads. Never left it out.

Love your channel you are the best

Houston is about ready for his own filming!

In the creek with my toes! lol

Great Job Houston ! 🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

The the weather and water is cooling down so they are not as active and starting to go dormant

Love the video I subed and turned on notifications and liked🐟🐟🐟 😸😸😀.

We are watching a very successful channel

After traveling to the pond and putting the trap together, all we had to use for bait was part of a peanut butter cookie. Caught so many minnows it was unreal. Literally a couple hundred.

Have a wonderful day!

In south Louisiana "crawfish season" usually runs from around November to May. We do not trap them in the summer.

3:40 a minnow got out of the trap

Another great day with the family in Okielahoma hope you get a pig out of all that corn your using as always thank you for sharing your day be safe on the interstate and catch a bad guy

Wish you all the luck in the future lol

I love your all’s videos of trapping with Houston

hey daniel watch the traps closely you can see where the little bluegill was going in and out of trap.....Lol

I off-road with my hyundai elantra gt 😁 Bear has such a cool look to his facial expressions. 🐻😎 Hopefully y'all can find the right bait or right spit or both. Be safe, be good, God bless

Hope you hit 1 million subscribers

so I fell on my bike and i got knock out and when i watch your videos I feel better

Awesome intro, Houston! 👍🏼 As a boy, my husband caught crayfish from a particular stream here on Oahu. The fish were so plentiful, they'd reach in and just grab. My family went crabbing and used aku (tuna?) heads in the nets. Would fish heads work on crawdads? I'm also wondering if beef jerky would work. No matter if you catch 1, 20, or zero - your videos are SO fun! 💗

A friend of mine in Texas uses fish heads in his crawdad traps. He also had success with hocks or chicken livers.

Daniel, for crawdads my husband says use velveeta or cheese. That's what he said he used in Niles, Ca. when he was a youngster.

We used regular canned corn to catch catfish when I was a kid. It worked. Dont know if it was because that was the only thing in the pond or they really liked corn. Better luck next time. Have a great day.

Going to try to send Houston the old type of minnow trap

Vienna sausage worked well for me. About 1 and 1/2 in the trap and I eat the rest. Works out well.

I take popped popcorn to our city park. The very 1st time I did. ... it was for the ducks. Well the ducks only ate them a little bit. .... but, the carp and gold fish really went CRAZY for it! So from then on I take it for the fish. They swim over each other just to get it! The duck's sometimes gets to eat it too!! Hahaha!

Houston has grown so much.

Great video! Sorry no crawfish!

Bella certainly does love to run! I love it when she turns her head while she's running....checking that you're still following. Bear!!!!!!!!!! I have an idea! How about using a dry cat food or Tender Vittles? Tightly wrap the dry food/vittles in a piece of an onion bad so that the food is pressing against the mesh. That way, the fish/crawdads have access to it without the food getting washed away. I suggested cat food because maybe the higher meat content will be a better attractant. But, yeah..... if all else fails, go buy some crawdads! lol

First, that was cream corn not sweet corn. Second, need a new area for trapping, over trapped that part of creek. When I was kid, my brother, cousin and I caught crawdads by diving in the deep part of creek, feeling with our hands on the mud, grab and bring up a crawdad to put into a bucket. We caught about 40 per outing.

Gooder 🤣

The fishes were saying, "I want to be on youtube!"

Try whole sweet corn. Pour it out of the can into the trap. We use corn for fishing. Give it a try. I think that will work better.

Bear thinks that you lost it... drowning his eats

The next time you clean fish save the scraps I.E the head and guts see if the crawfish like that. Crawfish are meat eaters. I enjoy your videos.

Up in NW Ohio, kids used to "fish" for crawdads, using chicken wings. They would tie a string to the chicken wings, throw it out into the creek, and slowly bring it back in. So perhaps placing a couple of raw chicken wings in the trap will be better than that dog food even.

Great video,👍😄 Houston💖 you be riding that four-wheeler zoom,zoom,zoom💥😊🤣👍 Daniel up here when water gets chilly there no crawfish,,but you can play a trick on Houston go buy some big ones an surprise him,put them in the trap😄😄😆😆🤣🤣an he be so excited,,that would be a Great video👍😄😆😊💖

Dead fish I would catch about sixty crawdads in a big truck

You need to use whole kernel corn and get pair of knee high stockings. Put the corn in it and tie it up. When the crawfish claws touch it they get stuck to it.

Hey good vid hop you have a good day

Here is what I use to catch baitfish down here in SW Florida when it is time to fish.....Ingredients...2 cans of sardines in oil, 2-4 hamburger or hotdog buns, water and 1 plastic container(tupperware or butter tub). Directions = Crumble the sardines into the tub. Crumble the buns into the tub. Thoroughly mix these 2 items together. Begin adding water and mixing slowly. Water is used to add bulk but you do not want the water to overpower the other ingredients. If you end up to watery just add some more bread and some olive or sunflower oil. Mix this potion up the night before you are going to use it and just let it sit in your garage overnight. This will help make it stinky. :) This is messy as the best way to mix this is by hand since you can feel for big clumps that need crumbled down more. You are looking for the consistency of some wet oatmeal for the finished products. To use this in a trap just wrap some of the mixture in a cheese cloth and load in traps. I use this in shallow water(6 to 8 feet) here to catch baitfish by castnet and it has never failed me to bring the fish in. I can fill my baitbox up with Pilchards, Pinfish and grunts usually less then an hours time.

I have tried the black plastic covered traps for years and never had luck with them , using an assortment of different baits. Caught lots of crawfish with them but not many minnows. I use a zinc coated or silver colored trap and catch them almost full of minnows , while using fishing line to tie up a couple strips of bacon and suspend the strips to the center of the trap so as the bacon stays in about the same place in the trap. The silver colored traps work much better IMO

He need a his own channel

Wonder if you poured some corn out into the trap. The holes look small enough it won't go through. Poor Houston eh, he better off waiting he be bummed for a bit at school. Nice to see your friend, think I subbed to his channel when he did camp on your land. Take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh :))

I really enjoy your RU-vid channel. I fish the lake just west of your place quite often and someday I need to stop in and say hello. Hopefully I won't get a chance to say hello in your other capacity.... :)

Crawdads have been scarce this year in our river barely even see any. Other years you couldn't take a step without seeing 20.
