>>503984You can buy (or make) your own minnow trap. Just toss some bait in there (I use hotdogs) and throw it in the water. Check your states regulations on using one, my state (Ohio) requires that you have your trap tagged with your name, address, etc if you are using it on public land. I advise that you do not use one on public land and leave it unattended, the local rednecks will steal it.
