Testing AMAZON Minnow & Crawfish TRAPS! 

Awesome good to know, to bad we can't use them to fish or we would catch nice Lakers!

Congrats on the pike man!! I know its not the species you were after but theyre still great fish! I wish we were able to use live crayfish it would be a gamechanger! Budget fishing challenge is definitely on the board! Hopefully we get to it before the season ends!! Looking forward to your next fishing outing! Goodluck bud!! 🎣

Yeah definitely buying them in person is a great way to make sure the holes on the trap are small on both ends. It makes no sense to have a big side because the fish actually found a way to get out. The best advice if your using this type of trap is to check the trap often. But the ideal would be to use the ones with both sides that are small so you don't have to worry about loosing your catch's

To bad they don't allow us to use natural bait. Not only are they free they are the actual food that the fish eat so it would be the best bait. It's ridiculous that we can't use any at all here, not even bought ones. The only exception is in winter we're aloud dead minnows. But not caught one's. At least you guys can use "certified" ones but still sucks because you would be able to catch your own easily and save the money instead of being forced to pay whatever price they put on them. Thanks for watching, we appreciate you taking the time to write a comment!

@@GIOUTDOORS That creek near my house that I told you about had plenty of crayfish too. It wasn’t just minnows. I don’t recall EVER having to pay for live bait when I was a kid. When it came to minnows or shiners… We had an ABUNDANCE. The only live bait we’re allowed catch ourselves now, are nightcrawlers. Now, if you’re fishing with live, shiners, or minnows, and our stopped, and checked by a DEC officer, you have to produce the signed and stamped receipt from the registered bait shop you bought them from. If you don’t have that receipt, you can get a citation and a fine. New York’s logic is that they don’t want a baitfish from one body of water being introduced into another, so as to prevent the spread of disease. Which I think is hogwash, because all our water systems are connected to begin with. Could be just a bogus money grab. But what can ya do?… The powers that be want it that way. I do miss the old days though. But it is what it is. Thanks for sharing the video. 👍

Man the good old times! I remember we've fished on the rondout reservoir in Wawarsing, Ny and we would get checked all the time for our minnows... Like you said nothing we can do about it.. What we can do is make the best of it and go out and have a great time.
