That minnow trap was going to be the next DIY project I posted on the forum. I will do something else.

Hmm another option would be brightly colored plastic. I've heard of it working and read about it a couple times, but I've never tried it.

That is good to know.

Back to the OP. I would go search rotting tree stumps and logs for bugs to use for bait. I like to find nice big grubs, and thread them on my hook.
