Making a Small fish trap

marxsman · 02-20-2006, 09:38 PM

I have used a 2 liter bottle. just because I did not have a 2 liter bottle I used a Mtn dew bottle. Try to use a clear one
Make sure bottle is Clean
Cut the bottle's top off like I did in picture #1
Invert top and place inside of other end, like picture #2
To attch the two pieces I have used hot glue or super glue. Just put dabs around the seam to hold it in place.
Once that is done you have a trap, You will most likly hace to weight it down and place it near the fish's hidout. Also you mus bait it with food. I have used this trap (different sizes) to catch shrimp, crabs, fish and worms.
It is a good trap for nusiance crabs and shrimp. I used raw shrimp for bait and use it a night. Just check on it to see whats in there. Then the problem can be taken out. Hope this helps everybody.
