my diy bait bags + my twist on the umbrella net

[midnight]

oook here we go again

bought a yard of nylon netting material from jo ann fabrics for 99 cents a yard.
only needed these 2 small pieces but now i have extra.
back on track
so i used a paper ball as the "bait" and cut it a few inches above that and got the circles.
then i used a rubberband to close it.
then i used rubberbands to attach it to the net.

did this so the fish have to go to the center to get it.
before the bait would float away.

next,
i had an old cast net rope and handle.
i cant remember what came with it.
now i can do it off a bridge

next,
if anyone has this net this might happen to you.
the rings on the end always slip out
well i squeezed the bars together best i could
and then added zipties.
now the rings cant slip out


and one pic of it folded up,and a full shot.

havent field tested but im sure it will work.
hope this helps others,or at least entertains for a bit


and i got the net at bass pro shop if anyone is curious

 

[midnight]

oh and one will have bread and one will have ham

 

[Tongue33]

Awesome You should try prinkling some anise oil sparingly on the bread

never heard of that stuff.

another link on the midnight diy thread. lol

LOL
i was just about to do that

 

[midnight]

field tested and
works perfect.
i baited one with ham,other with bread.
baited it once and it lasted the whole trip.
these mods made this net go from a 3 to an 8
i had so many minnows over the net at one time that i almost got a bass in the umbrella net.lol
a bunch of them seen all the minnows and wondered what was up.
also caught a small bass on a fathead minnow.lol
and a crappy rainbow pic.lol

Tell the truth...you went to a baby shower and got the idea for the bait holder right (I won't tell no one).

I use the bag from oranges or onions .

Try raw oatmeal.

I sprinkle it down on the net and the fish see it and that's all she wrote. If the water is flowing you can sprinkle it ahead of the net.

Oh ya, try npot to put up a big catfish or you maybe in the market for a new net (personal experience talkin' hear ).

Ok, now quit catchin' 'skeeter fish' and catch something weird.

[ThePBM]

had no idea those were minnows. always thought they were just guppies.

off topic, but can you catch carp with minnows?

 

[Dr Joe]

Not usually, carp are herbivores. And not around here
