the traps are kind of tall the foam helps them to stand up if they get tipped over

about 25lbs

Chicken liver, and cheetos

some lakes just have alot of suckers in. Sometimes if you set shallow you can get the smaller ones with a narrow throat opening on the trap so it keeps the bigger ones out.

we stock wild ponds with fry in the spring so there's a lot in them and they're hungry

Thank you, I thought it would show how we hang traps in deeper water

21:12 "Josh is tying the string on the trap." Be patient and all your questions will be answered.

Most traps are shallow enough we can reach them with the stick. Isn't that what chainsaws were made for.

Ya Its kinda fun trying all the diferent traps, and comparing them, thanks

sorry i'm new at this you tube stuff I didnt get your mesage till now. Tim

@@northcountrybait3898 all good. I would still like to buy some in the future. Any place you sell them or way to get in touch let me know. Im not the best at this stuff either.

Yes usually but especially bullheads

How can you tell?

@@northcountrybait3898do you see an abundance of bullheads in the good leech ponds ?

slices of white sucker, the best bait I've found

Those r Small

Just 6 mil. black plastic

yes, 3.00 a pound

yes, so when you lift them not so many slid out the bottom

yes it helps to keep them from flushing out when you lift them

Yes, we can buy them but it cost twice as much

sometimes, I have to get 3.50 per trap including string and float

No, I use fike nets with 50' leads. The're not on the shore line for long so I have to catch them quick. And the B's don't work as good. 3/8, they gill in the 1/2 mesh

It's been a long winter. We got heavy snow first week of ice, and it's just melting now. A lot of ponds died this winter

You noticed, Here too, especially the good stuff. Yes the red traps seem to work a little better, cant tell you why. But they do last a little longer also, because they're painted. I can get some cheap wire out of california, but the mesh is a little too big. About the same as a nineteen grader. And its welded.

Yes, I like the aprox. 24 x 32 cut in half and folded twice the best. I think it catches bigger leeches. liver or fish for bait.

Hello. Yes, they are printing tins from a newspaper printer.

I start around the first week in june . then stop around end of August. Water temps play a big part . i make my traps from 1/4inch hardware mesh . i make them long rectangle ,they lay on the bottom better then the round store bought ones .check minnesotas fish regs for size of traps and limits . and i only keep invasive rusty caryfish .

@@ALLDAYBLAZER amazing dude thanks for the response. I live in the twin cities and am hoping to find out how and when to go to get good crayfish as imports of Louisiana crawfish are now illegal. I used to live in New Orleans and all I want to do is host a boil.

@@ALLDAYBLAZER is leech lake particularly rich in crayfish? Or do you think some place like lake Minnetonka would have em?

@@ALLDAYBLAZER does the bottom need to be rocky? I often go to a cabin near park rapids and hoping to catch up there too using this method

You can still have live crayfish shipped up from Louisiana, they just cost $$$$$. The lakes theses guys are fishing are infested with invasive rusty crayfish. Not all lake and rivers have them , the mn dnr has list of lakes and rivers that have theses invasive crayfish . the native crayfish are not doing because of the rusty crayfish. Thats why i dont keep native ones ,and the native ones are way smaller . Traps are easy to make from 1/4 inch mesh . baits that work , cat food ,hot dogs , and oily fish parts like trout or salmon . Well hope this helps good luck . And one thing respect other people's traps and spots . if you see others traps find a different spot .to many traps in one spot = low numbers in your traps.

Pierre Beaulieu there is a supplier called k traps in willmar, mn

I build my own most the time. Same basic ingredients as dog food I mix it myself. thanks for asking

same basic ingredients as dogfood we mix it ourselves

There's lots of holes in the ice. Try not to step in them

The trap has a steel frame on the bottom that makes it a little heaver. It will roll away with a little more current though. Also we don't leave the traps for more than an hour usually..Suckers don't trap as good in the current as creekchubs and redtails and river shinners , try some kind of meat for bait or some white bread.If theyre there they should come in
