I have caught minnows in that galvanized trap, with no bait in the trap as long as the openings are parallel to the shore.

Please let us know how it goes!
Esshup, before I bought my black minnow trap I read on here somewhere to get the black ones and if you get a galvanized one to spray paint it black. I have to say I haven't been that impressed with how many minnows I've been catching with it. I guess I will get a galvanized one and try it. lol!
