Wondering what works best for you guys in your mud minnow traps. I have always used canned cat food and it seems to work pretty well and easy. Also heard a broken crab works well. What are yall’s thoughts?
Generally whatever you have available. Have seen traps filled to near capacity with a slice of cooked ham. Dry cat food works well too.

Yep, fried chicken is the best, for mud minnows and pinfish both.

Saw a guy use chicken necks with skin on in his minnow trap. That thing was full of minnows.

Save your fish cleaning scrap and put it in the freezer in a marked bag and use it next time you need to catch minners! Be sure to mark it bait, I have thawed out a bag thinking I was having dinner!
x2 on Vienna sausages. Also half a hot dog works great for me.
x2 everything everyone has posted. I had an ole salty tell me he caught his using a couple slices of Ivory soap. Never tried it but if it works…
