Use day old donuts from local donuts shops ( if the police haven't eaten them all) , they are thrown out anyway. Or clean out your car if you have small kids or teenagers after they have been to McDonald's. Fries work the best , even leftover's from last nights supper , but no meats ....it attracts turtles like crazy....👍 👍 🇨🇦
I built a pin fish style trap a few years ago for small bream also. For bait, cheap canned cat or dog food with holes in the can works great. Cotton seed cakes also work
Dry Oatmeal and corn meal mixed together with a bit of whole corn in a lemon or lime mesh bag works like a chum bag in the trap. Especially since the corn meal is small and the Oatmeal won't just melt away. The mix will bring in all sorts of minnows and other baits to trap the larger fish.
That’s a really cool trap! Over the last 40yrs when using these materials for building cages or fence I have a method you might be interested in trying that should save you a few steps and make your connections a bit sturdier. When making your 11” cut by eliminating the center square, just cut the center square right down the middle leaving 1/2 inch tabs on each 11” piece. Then when assembling it, you simply bend each 1/2” tab over and through the adjoining piece. It basically does the same as hog rings but tighter. You can also alternate which side of the adjoining wire you wrap around so the panel can’t slide back & forth. You are also eliminating one of your cutting steps with the cutting wheel. You don’t need to wrap every 1/2” tab. Wrap as many as yo think you need for a good fit(every 3rd or 4th would be similar # as you had hog ties). I think the occasional zip ties is a great idea to secure it up. I never considered that. Love your videos. I’m no engineer so this is the first time I’ve left a suggestion. 😂. Thanks for all the great content. Really enjoy all of it! “Just sayin’ “! 😃👍🏼
Nice table. i've helped to ring quite a few hogs, but we only had pliers that could handle one ring at a time. 🙂Those pliers look a little more specialized.
I see a new video from Fish pin N Stuff. I click. I’m like Pavlov’s dog. I’m surprised you didn’t get Mrs. FnS to stitch this contraption up on her sewing machine!
I'll deff watch the next. Yes I've watched alot get built on TH-cam even used some. Years ago that is. But I like them rings alot faster than ties. But yea can't weight for next see what I can learn. Happy new year and God bless
Awesome DIY trap! 👍👍 Dry catfood inside a piece of pantyhose has worked excellent for baiting our traps for years. (My wife is still wondering where one of her good stockings are?! 😂🤫) Have a great one Keith. Thanks for the great ideas brother! 👍👌🐟✌️
Hey FNS I hate to keep bothering you but I just wanted to give you another tip on your perch holding box. We used them to keep pin perch for saltwater bait and when we made them square the perch would tear their noses up and die from infections. So we started making them round so they don’t get stuck in the corners. Hope this helps tight lines and full freezers 🎣🐟🤠 P.S. they are a lot easier to build👍
Bailing wire works great too for attaching the panels to one another by weaving it through the squares of the adjoining panels. More rigid but a bit slower than the hog rings. Also I haven’t tried it but I wonder how plastic dipping or spraying a trap with flex seal would turn out in an effort to better prevent it from rusting similar to the expensive rubberized fish/crab traps.
@@dantheairboatman1234 well, they won't corrode any faster than the galvanized wire. They both are coated with the same coating. And, I'm sure it's not needed to last forever.
Great video! I think this could be modified for crabs. Us northern guys need to add a turtle excluder ( not sure if people in NC need to do this) but that’s a pretty easy modification.
Great video. Just an idea, how about making one for crawfish/crawdads/mudbugs, or whatever you call them in your neck of the woods? I always enjoy your builds, keep them coming!
For where the trap is tied on.. I might try making a V shaped bridle, Attached to the two front bottom corners. It can be made with coat hanger wire or heavy gauge fencing wire or even rope!. Reason being as a retired Western Rock Lobster Fisherman in Western Australia, this is how we attach the ropes to the Lobster Pot. It will help greatly in avoiding getting snagged up on rocks or branches as you're retrieving it. This is such a fantastic design mate!! Absolutely love it... You could use this for overnight sets for Crawdad's or Crawfish I think you guys call them? We call them Yabbies and their much larger relatives are called Marron. Both are freshwater critters with Marron growing to the size of North American Ocean Lobster. Awesome video buddy thank you very much! CP - Western Australia Midwest Coast.
We just make a wire box with that size wire. Then cut a slit in the sides of the box and bend the slit inwards so that the fish can't get out. Put a door in the top to the fish out. Little simpler than your design, same concept. Nice trap
Put some Viennas in it, if you and Dave don't eat them all before you get to the pond , I'm just saying lol. Awesome trap Brother, I thought that thing was going to be harder than that to make, That's why I love this channel, Even a dummy like me can make some of this stuff. GREAT VIDEO AS Always, Can't wait until the next build
I'm just getting around to this video, and was checking the comments to see if anybody mentioned "rabbit cage clips". Because if not, I sure was gonna mention them myself.
That’s awesome video . I been building fish , coon , crawfish, rabbit,bird ,hog, coyote traps since i was a kid . I used tie wire for years and just started using j clips a few years back . I still got my first traps I made . I used hog rings on a couple before but didn’t like them . I like to tie a couple of milk jugs on fish traps to float them a different depths for shiners . This past summer i built 8 fish traps just like the $120pic ya showed . A guy brought that same pic to me and ask if I build it for him and I did he seen it and wanted 7 more for his 135 acre family private pond . Now I got a new place to fish too.
@@FishinNStuff yeah i been trying my hand on quite a few of ya diys . I’m 43 and still learning different ways . Me and my 16 year son enjoys watching ya videos . My son built him the pvc and wood rod holder . Cranky always gives us a laugh . Son said Da . He should do a Buzzbait and call him Choppy cranky cousin.
So you need to make a video of you catching the fish. Love all your videos. I went back and watched them all when I found your channel last year. Keep ‘‘em up😁😁😁
It does work . Like i said I'm making a video about using it . Spray do is a good idea . I was going to buy pvc coated wire but they didn't have it.in the size I wanted
Penny Precopia commented on a tee shirt that she had purchased for her husband and also commented you should print on some tee’s the lure with the comeback and toothy smile. I was looking for the shirt when I found her comment and she’s rite make them up. I think you’ll make a bundle because he really makes the videos. “Just saying” Hahaha ! Enjoy your videos keep em coming! 👍
Great idea , and video Keith. Man, you are right, check the state laws. Whatever your state has, game wardens, DNR, etc., those people have got the greatest job, but there ain't a one of them thats got any kind of sense of humor if your in violation. And they got very expensive reminders if you mess up. Love yer videos, man, really enjoy them when they hit. God bless you and your family brother. Stay safe and enjoy life.
Hello my friend out her in California the only tip of fishing net that is legal is the dip net but throwing nets are illegal to use out her in California I have never used a fishing net I only use my spinning and bait caster fishing rod combos 👍🎣
You missed a critical step. Take some small diameter vinyl tubing and slit it long ways. Then slide it over the rough edges of your doorway. It will keep that pokey wire edge from eating up your arm when you reach in there. Trust me, I've been cut up bad by those wire edges. It works really awesume.
Ah, Another Fine Project you have built. But, You oughta put that Lil' Green Back-talk'n Lure in the gage on a Hog Ring for Bait to attack Blue Gill and you won't have to listen to all his Guff he spills. 😊😉😆😅😃🤣
Where's the DIY video on building the chicken coop? The price of eggs has me thinking about raising some chickens for fresh eggs, and I'll need to build a chicken coop. Yours looked really nice and professional. Do you have a ChickenNStuff channel? Nice fish trap by the way, did it work? Just asking.
Dang, brother! That's a nice looking coop. Did you design it? Did you make a vid of the construction? My chicks are now 9 weeks old and I need to get them a safe, outdoor place set up soon.
No I didn't make a video of my coop . But I did make a video of my new chicken . I build my chip a couple of years ago th-cam.com/video/Gnhl3gL75bs/w-d-xo.html
Lol I'm sorry 😞 lol ......I got my ideas from carolina coops they build some awesome chicken coops but they are out of my budget. So I just DIYed my own lol
I made a battery box for a kayak or bank fisherman on the Ammo box hack video and I think I've done some other stuff like that on some hack videos maybe 🤔. I think lol
Great trap! I've tried all kinds of things for bait: dog food, cat food, bread, cottonseed cake, cow cubes. I've had just as much, if not more, success throwing it in without bait. The trick is to put it close to underwater structure that the fish hang around. Guess they think it's just more structure to hide in. Looking forward to the next video to see how you did.
Thanks for showing us thoroughly how to completely build it
Thank you for watching it 😁

Easy now on the cop donut jokes😎
Absolutely agree with (plod ) o,p,p " Offal, Party , Powpers 🤣🤪
Not all of us eat donuts. We like bagels too.🥯
Ya have ya tell those cop jokes really slow cos if ya don’t they won’t get em an that’s when they get really mad
Love watching your builds makes the stuff I build pretty goofy looking.
Built one per your directions. Fun to build and worked great. My grandson and I really having fun with it. Thanks so much. Great video.
I built a pin fish style trap a few years ago for small bream also. For bait, cheap canned cat or dog food with holes in the can works great. Cotton seed cakes also work
I'm doing a video experimenting with bait right now . I was going to try dog food today
I missed a lot of ducks this season due to watching all your videos in the duck blind. Thanks for the great ideals
Lol . Sorry and thanks for watching buddy lol

Man this guy's has fishing hacks galore!!!!! Keep them coming. I love this channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate that , more coming
That was an awesome build. Great stuff.
Man you are a true genius! That was an amazing trap! Keep these videos coming cause I can’t wait for the next one!!👊🏻

She is says it's a learn reflex I think . Or just an uncontrollable reaction . It was a study about dogs
I might leave in the comments alot , but I really do mean it . I appreciate you watching more than you know
We used to build them out of wood when I was a kid
Keith, that is a awesome built fish trap brother, I would've loved to see the catch? 👍👍GREAT STUFF Brother!!! Jay.
It caught 5 the first try . My next video is going to be on how it works out
Great build man. I never thought about hog rings to secure the connections. Awesome!
That was a great idea for making that trap thanks for the idea.
I'll deff watch the next. Yes I've watched alot get built on TH-cam even used some. Years ago that is. But I like them rings alot faster than ties. But yea can't weight for next see what I can learn. Happy new year and God bless

Awesome video by my friend Keith
Btw, instant oatmeal “dough balls” work great, and last longer.
I'll try that thank you
awesome trap!!! I'm curious how many wounds you have from this build? that wire looks sharp!!!!!
It wasn't a hard build at all and I never got cut lol
Nice looking Trap. Not sure if it is legal in Florida. Enjoyed it
"J" clips works excellent and hinge but are more snug than hog-rings.
J clips trap water/salt and will corrode faster that’s why commercial crab traps use hog rings
@@dantheairboatman1234 well, they won't corrode any faster than the galvanized wire. They both are coated with the same coating. And, I'm sure it's not needed to last forever.

Great video. Just an idea, how about making one for crawfish/crawdads/mudbugs, or whatever you call them in your neck of the woods? I always enjoy your builds, keep them coming!
I'll have to try that
Since you have a metal welding table you could use a chisel and hammer to cut the wire also. Just saying. Great channel! I watch it all the time! 🙂
That's a really good idea lol . I really appreciate you watching brother

I like to put my door at one of the corners. That way it is easier to funnel the bait fish out of the trap.
These are so cool to build!❤

I just got me some today for the next video
I'm just getting around to this video, and was checking the comments to see if anybody mentioned "rabbit cage clips". Because if not, I sure was gonna mention them myself.
Those paint roller/Fish trap door also are good for scaling fish

Love your videos !
Can you do a series on making a John boat into a awesome boat like a pro bass boat ?
I was thinking about making the jon boat
nice video thanks for sharing
Very good job
Looks nice. I know it’s galvanized but would you consider plastic dip (spray) to better seal it. Also did it work?
It does work . Like i said I'm making a video about using it . Spray do is a good idea . I was going to buy pvc coated wire but they didn't have it.in the size I wanted
You can buy wire that is already plastic covered. It's often used in salt and brackish water.
@John Schneider it's pvc coated , they did have any at the Tactor Supply I went to
Here in Kentucky, you can use a fish trap for bluegill and other rough fish, but no game fish.
Bluegill are game fish in NC
Great fish trap!

Hello my friend out her in California the only tip of fishing net that is legal is the dip net but throwing nets are illegal to use out her in California I have never used a fishing net I only use my spinning and bait caster fishing rod combos 👍🎣
Now I have this urge to build a fishing trap... or two...or three.
It's works . I'm making a video on using with different baits
Good stuff Maynard, know what I mean!
Pneumatic hog ring gun clamps rings tighter… I build traps for a side gig and that pneumatic ring gun is a life saver on my hands
That would work good
You missed a critical step. Take some small diameter vinyl tubing and slit it long ways. Then slide it over the rough edges of your doorway. It will keep that pokey wire edge from eating up your arm when you reach in there. Trust me, I've been cut up bad by those wire edges. It works really awesume.
You can also rabbit cage clips to assemble it too
That's a good idea
Next time you may consider using j clips that are made for rabbit cages. They get tighter than the hog rings.
I did already on the video that I'm posting today. Your advice is 100% on target
Loved the build... BUT I would have liked to have seen the fish in the trap... DARN.
It's on the next video . I made a whole video about using , trying different bait and locations
Great video, thank you .....stay safe
Very nice zubair ali mugul Karachi Pakistan
awesome idea
Very nice chicken coop!!! lol

Awesome job bud!🙏🎣
Nice trap video Keith!
Its only illegal if you get caught .😁😁😁 I make mine like large minnow traps hated it when they get snakes in them .
Ol lord !! I wonder how snake cut bait works lol .
Aww...no result clip??? Dang...was hopin to see the gills in there lol
His newest video has the fish in the trap
@The White Trash Jedi Yeh, I saw it lol. Was hoping it was gonna be on the same video since there was no mention of when lol.
Careful with cut off wheel it will grind off the galvanize and start rusting

I probably need to build some
It's working good so far . I'm making a video on using now
I liked it.
Wife just seen the chicken coop and now I have to make one for her
Lol I'm sorry 😞 lol ......I got my ideas from carolina coops they build some awesome chicken coops but they are out of my budget. So I just DIYed my own lol
Nice video BRO 🎣 👍.
Thanks 👍
Chicken supply catalogs sell cage clips they have all kinds of cage making supplies nice coop how many birds does it hold
It'll probably hold 12 comfortably but I only have 4 . Ima add birds every year because of age and egg production
How about make a battery compartment for a sit in kayak to go with a nav light
I made a battery box for a kayak or bank fisherman on the Ammo box hack video and I think I've done some other stuff like that on some hack videos maybe 🤔. I think lol
I didn't like this! LOL. I LOVED THIS!❤
Great trap!
