Also, I assume bread is the best option? Thanks.

I used to use dry dog food in a small plastic bottle with slits cut into the side.

We used to throw whatever we had at the camp in there.
Best thing I came across was cooked chicken or raw bacon.
The oil and grease spreads out attracting more.
Within 15 minutes I’d have 20-30 in a 2 foot long minnow trap.

Not sure I am giving up bacon for a minnow. Tough call.

I’ve seen people use bacon before.

Well don’t throw the whole damn pack in.
Just a slice will work (depending on size of trap).
Bread always came apart and made it a mess getting them out.
The water bottle with slits in it is a good idea. Never considered that.

How much bacon do you use per trap?
Posted on 5/12/19 at 11:24 am to Janky
In my 2ft trap I use 2 slices. If thick cut one will do.
I never used anything bigger than that small one from academy for $10-12.

I use it to catch snappin turtles out of the pond. They can't resist it.

Cheap hotdogs always works great for me. One or two in the trap last most of the day

For minnows I assume, and in still waters, this has always been my go-to trap bait:

White styrofoam cup believe it or not

I use cracked crab

Cut a pogey in half and throw that in the trap.

cheese-krafts singles and bread.

This is for freshwater. I am just going to throw them in the little cove on the side of our place. The closest place that sells shiners is about an hour round trip.

raw bacon.
I've caught a lot of fish on raw bacon. Excellent bait for perch.
