Did you use bait in the trap? I use a section of pantyhose and put fish food in it and suspend in the middle of the trap. You can also take a can of dog food, stab some holes in it with a screwdriver, put it in the trap and fatheads will come into it.
If that doesn't work, use a lift net where you feed the fish. That will definitely work.
