BEST Minnow Trap Bait - DOG FOOD vs BREAD (which catches more?)

- What is the BEST minnow trap bait? Dog food or bread? In this video I test out these baits to see which can catch more minnows. I put dog food in one minnow trap and bread in another minnow trap. I put both minnow traps in a tiny creek and left them for about 24 hours. I checked the traps after 24 hours to see which minnow trap bait caught the most minnows. I am on a mission to find the best minnow trap bait. Minnow trap fishing is a blast! You never know what kind of fish you are going to catch!
THANK YOU for watching!

What other baits would you like to see me test out for minnow trapping!?
Fish Hawk McDonald food like frys
Try chips
Good idea!
Chips are a good idea too!
Do like a fast food show down like one trap has mcdonalds and the other has like arbys.
small rockbass or warmouth. it's important that your trap is not sideways but inline to the current.
Logger John.
John Tadlock , what is a warmouth?.my first guess was a rock bass.
@@davelockhart3372 it's a type of sunfish. Like a bluegill with a bass mouth.
Ye, I caught like 7 baby warmouths in my ditch once. Pretty cool.
Good point! I said warmouth but I was completely wrong. Rockbass are blotchy Warmouth aren't, they have stripes.
I do believe that #7 fish was a baby goliath grouper. We have lots of those yutz down here in Tampa. Great videos. Thanks for your effort.
Just found your channel a couple days ago and I’m surprised you don’t have more subscribers. Quality videos and I just love how humble you are and generous towards others! Keep the videos coming because i’ve been binge watching them since I found your channel. 😊😊
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Good job on the videos. A friend of mine chums his traps up with cat food. He punches a few holes in those little potted meat sized cans. Seems to work okay but Ive seen more minnows in your traps then ours! Everything eats bread. LOL
One thing me and the ol man found out, we use to use bread/buns, but after there are a few minnows in there they bump the bread and it washes out, so we tried using left over pizza crust, attracts them great, and the best part that we found is it hangs together and doesn't wash out, if you would like to try it. We normally set 4-6 traps, leave them for an hour or so, and average catch is 8-10 dozen.
Aha! Just made my own and caught well over 100 creek chubs, thanks!
Thanks bro, I have a creek behind my house and caught tons of minnows. Thanks for the bait ideas
Been trapping bait for years. One thing I do is make a bait pouch that is wired to stay in the center of the trap. Keeps the bait from floating around and gets the bait to swim into it to feed.
Great video. I have some suggestions. Try saving left over live and dead bait. I salt and air dry minnows and crayfish,. I put them in a sandwich size zip lock and throw them in the freezer. The salt pulls all the moisture out of the bait. To use, I put a "carrier' like bread, crackers, or dog food. Mix it all up including the salt. That salt is highly scented. Try it and let us know.
Thank you for the great idea!
Rock bass I think!!
Try cutting your hotdogs and put them in a baggie , add a pack of cherry koolaid and shake it up , let it sit for an hour or so, then bait your trap 💯🔥
Raspberry soda mixed with bread fire same dhit I use to make bread and oat meal balls for carrp
As a few others guess, mine is a bass as well on number 7. I am looking forward to attempting bait trap on a much larger body of water(lake) soon. Bread balls, or chicken liver are my thoughts, coat with cherry jello and go.
4:24 that momentary stumble from mud holding your boots makes you so much more human/normal..as it happens to all of us. Glad you haven't shown a face plant/ Belly Flop as that is my every few "trips" routine..Nice video BTW.
haha thanks man! I've been lucky so far. If I do an epic face plant/belly flop I'll be sure to add it in the video. It'll be worth a few good laughs.
Looks like a rock bass to me might be wrong those - around here the carp crashes the mino an the bait washes when it gets sogie - biscuits hold up real good also
the last one the seven looks like a rock bass
great experimentation. a bit surprising i thought dog food might produce more fish but the fish is a lot bigger. maybe mix bread and dog food together should work better haha
Nobody else out there makes videos like you. Thank you. Maybe try doing a crayfish trapping video. But keep the videos coming
Thanks man! I appreciate it! I would like to try crayfish trapping
Its a warmouth i have a lot of those in my strem they get pretty big but not in my small srem it gose all in the woods i have minows baby cat fish mud fish warmouth and baby pan fish.
Lucky
#7 from the bread trap was a redeye/ rock bass.
Thank you so much! This experiment helped me a lot when choosing bait for my minnow traps.
I like using honey wheat bread since it’s got a sweetness that they go nuts for.
I think that last one you showed from the dog food was a Large Mouth Bass fingerling, judging from the stripe on it's side.
no it was a spottail shiner. There is a brief second where you can see the spot at its tail.
Great video, definitely looks like a small rock bass, no doubt. I’m subscribing, thanks for a cool little video!
We called those goggle eye growing up...
Use balled up bread and small size dog food together. Works the best for me. Just leave in hole 5-6 hours.
Dog food burrito
Rock bass for sure
I might be a bit late but I believe that was a warmoulth
Michigan, we call them Rockbass
Looks like it will do what I bought it for. Not a bad buy. Would recommend :) cant wait to try it out!
Minnow trapping is the first vid I watch of you I love em
Thank you Ike! I am going to do more minnow trapping videos soon!
For all the misinformed amatuer fisherman out there, it was a juvenile rock bass. They are VERY colorful when young.
Are you sure it was a rock bass? It looks like hybrid crappie.
Looks like a warmouth to me
Not a rock bass at all. For sure a warmouth.
I thought it was a Oscar fish maybe somehow got into water system
Looked like a blue fin tuna to me..
Nice green sunfish you caught.
I use Cheetos crunchy in my Spring fed lake, which takes about 15 minutes to get enough for fishing. Same trap u use but mine is un painted.
This might sound a little strange, but how about trying chicken livers? I've noticed while catfishing, minnows would go for it while I'm reeling in, and go after the little bits that comes off.
I think chicken livers would work great! Love that idea! Thanks man!
number 7 in bread looked like a little rockbass
Baby Rockbass. :D
thank you for your help my friend i learn a good trick to fish with a cage thx allot😘😘😘😘.
I was curious how well these traps work,,,I've got 2 sets, but never new, how to exactly, bait em,,,, and looks like they work pretty good,,,you inspired my to try it,,,looks like fun,,,,cool vid😎
That’s a young rock bass on the first trap.
Rock bass knew it as soon as I seen it PS nothing works better than bread!
I would have to agree!
Looks like a baby Rock Bass 🤘🏻
Setting the traps I see your head on a swivel, one eye on your work, the other other eye looking around for the game warden 😅
Cat food, fries, dog treats
Are you sure it was a rock bass? It looks like hybrid crappie.
Hi! I have a question. I have a new trap and I put it in my lake. I checked an hour later, tons of catfish. Left them in the trap. Checked it this morning, nothing. I had a storm roll through. Do you know why they left?
You sure it’s a trap? Sounds like a you got yourself an underwater kitchen
@@BlockchainToTheFace lmao
Me and the old man have been trapping minnows ever since I was a kid. First thing I can tell you is the silver traps will catch more then those black ones.
Second thing I can tell you if you zip tie one end of the minnow hole off so there is only one entrance it WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR CATCH RATE! just helps not ad many getting out.
Third thing I can tell you. If you feel like those black traps have to big of holes..zip tie a funnel of what size of minnows u want to catch. Your welcome folks 😀
@101scottyman Does it also work for crawfish?
Thanks for your experienced input. If I close off one end which end is facing upstream? Open or closed end? Probably closed end upstream because they naturally face upstream therefore they will swim up and in the downstream facing hole?
please try crayfish trapping. love your videos . i liked and subbed.
Great video. Do you have any suggestions for trying to trap blueback herring in my local lake?
i find, that when using bread, the minnows die fast -- they get bloated and go belly up
How about trying vienna sausage pieces. It's seams like a nice bait because it's in a can and does not have to be refrigerated. Also how about some catfish blood bait balls.
I like that idea! I tried hot dogs a while back and they did well. Vienna sausage would be fun to try. The catfish balls should work well too. Thanks for the ideas!
Good very thanks
I heard egg shells work well
Looks like a little rock bass to me or goggle eye
That was little red eye or better know as a rock bass
Thanks
The black vinyl coated minnow traps suck. I have an old rusty one that traps way more minnows.
That little game fish is a warmouth. They are similar to Rock bass
I got the same trap. Trying it today
175K views on minnow traps... awesome vid to boot!
Love you videos man can't wait for more keep it up
Good job minnow boy
came here to see what people are using, i left my trap in a local creek with bread for 24 hours, all i caught was 2 crawfish thingys with big claws , lol , , think i chose a bad spot as bread seems a good bait
Bread has worked the best for me. Hot dogs were probably second best for me. Might try a different spot. Good luck!
Try vienna sauage...about 50 cents a can...only 2 sauage can attact a couple dozen minnows
It’s a rock bass I catch those in my trap all the time
I thought it was a warmouth
It’s a red eye
ock bass
Cool minnows! I think both work good!
Thanks buddy!
Your welcome buddy!
Thank you for the vid man 😊
Good job ty 👍
You definitely catch more crayfish using dogfood over bread, so if u are looking to trap minnows I recommend using bread and checking the trap twice a day.
Thanks for the tips! I'd like to try trapping some crayfish sometime soon!
I try to avoid catching crayfish, they eat the minnows in the trap pretty quit lol. I love using minnows and worms for fishing. I catch wide varieties of fish that way. I live in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. I can fish the St. Mary's river anytime which has countless species of fish.
Rock bass bro
Ramen noodles work awesome. Cheap too.
Cooked?
That is a black banded sunfish very rare to find google it for pics
That one brown and black spotted one is a baby cropie
Galvanized minnow traps seem to catch more minnows than those black plastic-coated traps. I have tried it MANY times over the years, by placing one of each in a hole together. There are many thoughts on why this happens, but I don't bother with the why anymore, I just use the Galvanized traps because they outperform the others.
Maybe the shinyness is attractive
Rock bass was the fish in the bread
Look like a oscar
rock bass the other ones look like leatherbacks. you should try chicken liver
Tiny rock Bass
I'd like to catch a few tiny bluegills to go onto my 30 gallon aquarium. This method is better than catching them with a rod and reel because they wouldn't be injured in the lip causing an infection.
That'd be cool. For sure, this is the way to go if you want some pets for your aquarium. I've always wanted an aquarium for some Bluegill and Bass. But man those aquariums are expensive!
Yeah. They can be.
+Fish Hawk Must be nice to be able to do that in your state. Here in Tx it’s illegal to catch & stock baby game fish in an aquarium or tank. But it would be cool to watch them grow.
Ive just bought this same trap. Never used one before.
I will be fishing a 500 acre lake for crappie and bluegill next month. I was thinking of using it here. I’d obviously would need to find a small narrow chute to use it in.
Has anyone tried a setup like this on a bigger lake? Any suggestions on how to use it there?
Put it near weeds
Helpful, thank you :)
I just picked up stainless steel one for spring I wanna catch sum tadpoles any suggestions for Bait.
Alan R tadpoles eat moss :)
@@trev8578 thanx for the tip.
Alan R no problem bro
Also if you do another trout fishing video you should try a lure called joes flies also a mepps Thunder bug
I will be doing a lot of Trout fishing this Winter/Spring. I have some Joe's Flies. I will try to use some in my videos.
Definately a small rock bass.
I agree that last one looked like a rock bass to me too. Especially if its big eyes where orangish in colour.
Fantastic Video Nicely Done ✅
Page 278
Suppose a minnow is caught by a bigger fish, and wounded. Its cut skin then gives off a chemical that frightens all other minnows nearby. It makes them huddle together into a tight school.
Can you make that trap with eny wire
dustbin even those with the mental on the bottom
Not sure. I bought these traps at Walmart.
your link for trap doesn't point to an available trap anymore
It is a small rock bass
I might have missed it, but what kind of dog food did you use?
Not sure honestly. Cheapest I could find at Dollar General
Maybe warmouth sunfish
That’s one diverse stream
How about a trap for catching small Bluegill's ?
That was a Rock bass
Rock Bass
That’s a Little Rock bass
very helpful video! i just subscribed!
Thank you!
WVU 👍🏻
It is a rock bass!!
Rock bass
Looked like a rock bass
I'm the 1k like! Way to go!
Where do you get a good minnow trap and how are the two held together? Thanks for a great video. I found your channel by accident and subscribed.
Thanks! I bought mine at Walmart. They're held together with a metal clip. Very easy to put together and take apart.
Wal-mart. Just got one on clearance. 7 bucks. Three point system. Inexpensive, if you consider what you would spend on minnows. You could even use leftover meat from a meal, doesn't have to be a huge amount either, or mix with bread balls
