nakednutt 58 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 the way we fish them is on a minnow tackle. its a wire body covered in lead then you insert it in to the minnow. nip off the tail, hook on your trebles and thats you good to fish. ive a 4 ft net made out of the green scaffold mesh and get the minnows from a local burn 1 Quote Link to post

Tiercel 6,986 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) As kids we used to catch minnows in milk bottles, tie a piece of string around the neck of the bottle, put some bread in the bottle and just lower it into the water as simple as that. You can make something similar out of pop bottles. http://offgridsurvival.com/fishing-trap/ TC Edited April 25, 2014 by tiercel 1 Quote Link to post
