Mud minnow bait

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.

left over fried chicken bones! They love greasy stuff!

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…:smiley:

Here’s a question. Has anyone tried throwing it in the grass while fishing a spot for 30 min and had luck?
