Are you willing to spend $2.00 for a fish trap?
Do you have 5 minutes to make it?
Then read on!
Supplies purchased from "99 Only" 2 weeks ago.
I have caught a few this way, and other using my method have as well!
1. Go to the dollar store and get a clear gallon container.
2. Same dollar store get a plastic slotted spoon that fits just over the opening.
3. Cut the handle off the spoon.
4. Drill a hole in the spoon and the clear container and attach spoon with a zip tie but loose.
5. Drill a few small holes around the side of container to allow some water in for circulation and a larger hole on top to place the food. Sand or pick away any sharp protruding plastic.
6. Drill a hole in the top of spoon and top of container.
7. Tie fishing line to the top of spoon and thread through the hole in the top of container.
8. Use a magnet to secure this in the tank. Place it at the level the fish you want to catch usually eats.
9. Prepare for fish to freak for a few days.
10. Feed only in this container and soon the fish will go in it for food. Could be up to a week depending on the shyness of the fish. DO NOT MOVE the trap to put in food. The hole in the top is so you can use a baster or tubing to drop food in the trap without disturbing it. You can also use the baster to blow out waste in it if it accumulates.
11. Watch and when the one you want enter pull fishing line fast.
12. Send MarkieB a PM and offer him lunch for saving you $30.00
