i also have a diy 2 liter bottle trap thread in my diy thread
ya i will, i use the ones from my school to collect salamanders and stuff for projects, so ill build one of my own soon, ill post it for sure
The longest part of the whole process of making it was cutting the wood. In total it only took me about an hour to complete. And I wasnt rushing. Took my time with the back screen and bait bags.USMCtanker;1869108; said:
Well I went out and checked my trap. It has been sitting for 2 days or so. Not good. When I pulled it there was nothing in the trap. Also something that couldnt fit into the opening wanted into the trap bad. It ripped the screen off the back to get inside. Ate all teh squash i had in there. Tore up the screen pretty good too. Probably a turtle.

i used metal screen on mine
Well it didnt cost me anything to make so its not a big loss. I was just working with what I had. I might just have to go get some metal screen and give it another go.
Before I put it back out though I will have to find a new location to put the trap in. I did however find a list of all of georgia freshwater fish.

havent had a chance yet to look at everything since the list is huge. Anything in there that stands out for being in an aquarium?
