Golly look at the heads on those critters. A bad day fishing is better than a good day a work. A good day fishing...
I never saw a wire container like that with fish in it. Is that a holding/keep alive cage or do you box trap with bait like we do here for crabs? -·- John
Its just a catfish trap with a trap door, the holding traps we have are 4x8 or larger. At least in a holding trap containing fish, one can always get a mess

You got the specs on that trap Indianjoe. I wouldn't mind making me one. And also the catfish bread. I ain't had time to hit the river in a while. I can use my big cast iron bbq pit to make the bread.
Fried pork skins work good in minnow traps they may work in catfish traps. They last a long time.
We use chicken necks in our crab traps. They're tough and last quite well also. -·- J
BarG,
its 5 foot by 2 foot, made of vinyl coated wire. I can send you a better pic so you can get an idea.
When I checked it today I had 51 fish and it wasn't totally full, I been looking to get 100 in it.
The bread is made from a container of garlic, 3 parts soybean meal and 1 part flour, mix with water to pour into aluminum pans and cook til brownish. The real secret is the cheese, its left overs from cheese making and its got smells. I buy it by the barrel, 4-500 lbs at a time.
