If you have enough minnows to see them around the trap and you put a whole slice of dried bread or break it into big pieces in the trap you should be able to get the minnnows in the trap. I have never had a problem with getting fatheads to go into a wire mesh trap with cones on the end. Set trap in 12"-2ft of water parallel to shore and let it fish for 4-8 hrs. Let us know if this or what worked.
