BEST Minnow Trap Bait - BREAD vs HOT DOG (which catches more?)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 гру 2017
- Which minnow trap bait catches more minnows? Bread or hot dog? I decided to test it out. I bought 2 of the exact same minnow traps for this test. I put bread in one minnow trap and a hot dog in the other minnow trap. I put both minnow traps in a small creek, side by side. I left the minnow traps in the small creek for 1 day. I came back the next day to see what the minnow traps had caught. I pulled out each minnow trap and counted all the minnows. I was very surprised at the results! I had an absolute blast making this video. Minnow trapping is a lot of fun and you can catch some really cool fish. Minnow traps are fairly inexpensive. You can also make your own minnow trap. Give it a try!
THANK YOU for watching!

Just a little tidbit you shouldn't leave a minnow trap sit for anywhere close to 24 hours. When the bait runs out or the minnows get their fill they will start looking for ways out. I generally use smushed up hot dogs and have well over a hundred minnows in 15-20 minutes.
The fish you called beautiful was a baby large mouth bass
Yeah..he clearly says that after counting?? Your point?
It’saboi 565 or was it a large baby mouth bass 🤔
Number 51 of rye first trap
Which one?
Best way to relax is watching your videos. Keep them coming!!
Yup this is exactly what I was looking for, well done 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 thanks 😊
I never heard of using hot dog. I've always used bread. Great video.
I just bought two if these traps! Hopefully it will keep my kids entertained for hours.
Thanks. Finally something to do with those cheap $1 hot dogs
Better than trying to eat one isn't it
I cut my minnow trap inlet holes just a little bit bigger to allow larger minnows in. Bigger bait = bigger fish! Good job
Yer awesome brother! I'm a Western New Yorker, 2 miles away from the Southern shore of Lake Ontario, midway between Buffalo and Rochester. Albion, NY is one of three, in the middle, of Erie Canal towns/cities in Orleans County. I catch many different kinds of fish in that canal! Saw tons of minnows last night...now I know how to catch them. Thank you my (new) friend.
Thanks, that look like fun! At the price of bait I may have to dig out my antique torpedo trap!
Looks like it will do what I bought it for. Not a bad buy. Would recommend :) cant wait to try it out!
Nice video! Enjoyed watching & learning! Thanks!!
Thanks it was very helpful
Amazing that small hole has so many fish
Very helpful I think I'll try it tonight
Banded killifish and largemouth
That’s cool that you caught bass in a minnow trap! I never new that could happen I never did that before
I thought it was pretty cool too :)
Great video, from which I have learned quite a bit from your video. Thanks a lot.
Thank you! :)
Great demo! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Barely subscribe and so far I'm loving your channel! Great video
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
great vid! excellent release as well!!!
Its awesome... Like your videos and its the first time i see you on youtube😂😂🤘🤘
Thank you very much! :)
I like it because I learn something new now thanks man
No problem! Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Good video, never used hot dogs before! I'm going to have to do a video of my own on my channel now!! Thanks a million sir!
Thanks man!
I have better luck by using the silver traps for some reason thanks for posting 👍
I found a square trap at Wal Mart very neat nice never seen one like it
Awesome video keep the minnow video traps coming
I think that went from Warmouth, Bass and the final and coolest, a rare Logperch. That's just from the brief look you gave us so could could definitely be wrong but that was my take on it.
Thanks for the tip
Very good video, many thanks
Thank you!
Very Awsome video you inspired me to make a video like this tomorrow
Thanks! Good luck!
Anybody else read "1 day later" with a French accent?
Yes. lmfao. Every damn time.
Just like on spongebob.
Fleece Johnson me
Fleece Johnson yes lmao
No
Não sabia que existia essa forma de pesca, gostei muito!
Obrigado! Eu gosto disso também. É divertido!
Enjoyed
Great channel! Keep it up! Wish you luck on your channel!👍
Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate it!👍
Try using milk bone dog biscuits for bait,they always worked for me and stay together longer!!
Thanks for the idea!
I caught my longest fish on minnows 52"gar, and my heaviest fish 57 lb. Flathead on minnows. I have since started using skipjacks and mooneyes for bait, but the records stand.
Wow those are some great fish. Nice job!
cool - thanks
Nice experiment clearly the hot dogs won with the most fish and thanks for releasing the bass. And if there were trout I'd hope you'd release them as well. I'm enjoying your channel so far keep pumpin out Vids. Longer 1's would be great.
Thanks! Absolutely, I release all minnows. Thanks for watching and for the feedback!
Why is it the CLEAR winner. It was practically a tie. If you make dough balls with the bread it's as good or better. Cheaper too.
Not sure if its been said, but use both. That's what I'm gonna try.
great job
About equal. Interesting experiment.
Pretty equal :) Thanks for watching John!
question what is the name of the species of minnow (not shiners) that are small silver and commonly sold in bait stores as bait for crappie please answer because i need to know for an aquarium build i am thinking of and i need to know if they can fit in a 38 gallon tank
awesome!
Bass fry pan fish minnows and chubs... Good bait hole
dry dog food works good, the cheaper the better. Canned cat food works really good too, somethin oily like tuna draws em in as well, works good for crayfish as well
I've heard dog food and cat food work great too. Definitely a good bait for minnows and crawfish.
Great content!! 👍🏻👍🏻
CIA Agent thank you! 👍🏻
I seen the baby bass you had so cool
I know this video is old but maybe you should have counted them by weight! I would love to see how you deal with catching minnows in more technical areas like rivers.. All I seem to catch is is crawfish and a little bluegill or two when I put it in a river by some fallen brush
I use dog food a lot and it works really well only problem is I get a lot of baby bluegill as well
Live bait for days!!
I love ur videos
Thank you 😃
Loved it! Try a Hotdog vs Bread vs Both?
Oh, And maybe a shorter duration one? Instead of 24 hours maybe 6?
I like those ideas. Thanks!
Both will win obviously.
Looks like they both work good buddy!
Yeah they both worked great! Thanks buddy!
Your Welcome Buddy!
always wondered
cool video man just subbed
Thanks man!
Any chance you know the species the hotdogs caught?
Holy moly
Really cool test. Nice video!
Thanks man!
Prime Catch 
I usely squish the bread up and it lasts about 4 hours more. Depending on how u smush it
I gave a thumbs up because you said squish and smush.
Dry dog food or horse feed are the best minnow trap bait.
Where do you find hotdogs that sink? Everytime I try them they just float at the too of the cage and they eat them from the outside
Cooooool
Aquarium fish beautiful species
Awesome video buddy. New subscriber. Happy helping you reach your 1000 subscribers
I wonder if having the traps right next to each other actually skewed the results. Perhaps the hot dog or bread drew the minnows to both traps and they just swam into the one closest to them (with no real preference for the bait).
good point
I usually use dog food. Cut apart a shower scrunchy use a piece of it to suspend bait in center of trap.
I trap minnows frequently and I use a handful of floating catfish bait wrapped in some stocking material and placed in the minnow trap. In half an hour I generally have hundreds of minnows in the trap.
That is awesome! I need to try that! Do you trap in creeks or ponds/lakes?
In ponds and I meant floating catfish feed as in pellets not bait. The pellets send out the fish oils that really draw minnows. Usually in about five minutes the water is boiling with minnows trying to get into the trap. It's necessary to wrap the feed in hose or similar mesh to keep it from floating out of the trap. The trick is to find a body of water with lots of minnows. There's a public pond a few miles from my home that's filled with millions of red fin shinners and I've stocked them into the small lake next to my home as food for my fish. The red fins are active swimmers and are also very prolific so there's always large amounts of them present.
That's awesome! I need to find a pond like that. Where can I get the catfish pellets?
Feed store, tractor supply or in a pinch the local fish store should have some pond pellets for koi.
Love these vids do more plz
Happy to hear that! I will definitely make some more. Have any ideas for what kind of minnow trap video you would like to see?
Fish Hawk I️ don’t have anything specific but keep it up 1000 subscribers will come in no time I️ like some of the ideas people have already put though.
Fish Hawk maybe dog food bacon etc I️ agree with those ideas keep up the hard work it will pay off for sure you are a awesome UA-camr !!
Thanks! They did have some good ideas.
Kool video man.
Thanks man!
Thank you for the love fish hawk.
How about a trap for Bluegill's ? Anyone ? Great video & information ✌
Reason why I'm watching videos because I'm getting my dad a minnow trap for his birthday and I want to know which bait is better
How often do you do the traps with the hot dogs how many days will you think they will be safe
I haven't done a lot but from what I can tell I would say it should last 2-3 days.
Just now seeing this. Thanks man. I appreciate the kind words!
Brian Landers I'll be trying it in spring with homemade traps and comparing dog food with fish food flakes.
51, that beautiful fish, and 59 were baby bass
And if you leave those traps in for 3 days and you'll be in the snake buisness
Keith Morris oh believe that happened to me got 2 in one trap
Hmmmm I wonder how the beef suet left over from deer season will work?
51 was a bass
nolans Reptile room in my cast net i caught a Guatemala bass
That’s what I’m saying
And 59
Try one test using tuna fish in can. Use tuna in oil. Poke holes in it with knife. A kid showed this on his UA-cam video and it worked when I couldn't get anything else to work.
Thanks for the idea! Hopefully I can try it out sometime!
#59 in the bread trap looked like a largemouth bass.
My trick is to use either a donut or something else like that, I’ve used other foods, but donuts work best for me. It’s basically just like the bread but more smelly
The creek I get minnows,is a swift moving creek,, do you have any secrets,,,thanks jim
5 - 6oz weights tied in sections of ofthe middle
What species did the hotdog trap catch?
Smoked salmon works great
So hot dog and bread in one minnow trap. Got it
try slim jims they work well too.
I think those fish with the doted line down their sides were baby spotted bass
the first one you showed us was a baby sun fish and the 2end was a baby bass
Dang. Never seen that much in a minnr trap
That was a lot of minnrs! lol
@@FishHawk say , do you know of a trap for Bluegill's ? Great video & information 👍
This man has a beard
Another thing to consider is the chemicals in processed meats can kill minnows within hours. I experimented with this a couple years ago. I fed a tank full of minnows one of those beef sticks you see at gas stations. I ground it up into tiny pieces. The next day the entire tank was dead. Another thing is, many "minnows" are really fingerling game fish. The DNR considers these game fish and size and number limits apply.
I know this is late but my dad used my moms leftover pancakes and they worked like a charm
I like that idea! Never heard of that before but I bet it would work great! Thanks!
is itok if u mix the hotdogs and bread together in one trap?
Yeah for sure!
the ones you said were cool. are baby large mouth bass
Awesome. How about a Slim Jim?
Good idea! I might have to try that. Thanks!
That 59th one in the bread is a largemouth
I like using minnow traps but i had alot of mine stolen before
Found your channel from Instagram! Good luck with your channel! I’ve got a channelToo if you’re in to bass videos!
Thanks man! I appreciate your support! I'll check out your channel.
Fish Hawk no problem!! awesome man! Thanks!

Thanks! Walmart lol
# 51 I would assume it is a a baby bass tell me if I'm wrong
I have not wach the full vid yet but I say bread is the best
