People do use nets to get shrimp but that is more for commercial fishing.

so could i get shrimp with that bottle trap or not? what do you think?
You could but a different version the soda can I used for minnows is to small would want something bigger.
the 2 litre jug is too small? what if I used the simple cylindrical funnel like in the pic and covered it with a fine mesh?
Im not to sure about the cylindrical funnel never having done it but it seems like it would work. A gallon milk jug might be big enough if you could make to opening a little larger.
are you saying that the 2 litre bottle opening isn't big enough for the shrimp? I am talking tiny shrimp. like an inch at the largest.
O Im sorry yes that should be fine.
Do you suggest i try it?
Yea just make the trap set it out in the water and leave for a day or two then come back and just check on it.
what for bait?
Well Im not sure you would probley have to look that up. Im think that shrimp eat plainton so you couldn't use it for bait. A simular trap would still work for crawfish and crayfish. Sorry and couldn't be any help.
thats alright. so the funnel trao like in the pic works?
Corn meal and fish oil great bug bait...just mix to a consistancy like bread dough and place in trap..
what about something like corn starch? or oat bran? wheat flour?
yea it works people have cought a lot with it. I have used corn and worms for bait before.
what about something like corn starch? oat bran? wheat flour?
If you mean for bait then I would have to say no that is a bad idea they arn't solid. With worms it is something that they might eat in their natural diet.
I meant for shrimp. I am trying crushed flakes fish food wixed with milk and dried out. For craws i think i will have to try worms. minnows? whats left after i take the filets off a fish, then put int he trap?
Well for minnows are just for bait for fish if thats what your asking.
No should i try some minnows for craw bait? what would anybody say for shrimp bait? craw bait? for shrimp i was going to try crushed flaked fish food mixed with milk. does that sound like it would work? I was going to try fish guts and skelatons for craws. does that sound like it would work? Should i make a ramp trap for craws or use my funnel trap?
