Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Minnow Trap?

Because the mesh is 3/8" and the handle is probably on top when the trap is set, I think it could catch crayfish. Set trap with the handle on top and the wide square base against the pond bottom. For crayfish it could be baited with meat scraps, fish parts or large pieces of dog food. If you want to catch crayfish try setting the trap in a relatively deep drainage ditch or small creek; rocky bottom is preferred.
