Re: Fish trap ,no strings attached!

"shear genius" LMAO! I'm afraid a video is beyond my computer skills. I don't even have a fish that needs trapping at the moment. I wanted the trap on hand incase Sailboy & Angel take a dislike to any new neighbors.

Re: Fish trap ,no strings attached!

LMAO! Way to slow to prove the trap works! Tomorrow I'll set it up in the 200. I'm confident it will trap one of my two fish quickly. My digi has a simple video function then I'll go from there.

Re: Fish trap ,no strings attached!

Ok Folks, The clip is not very good. I don't want to cause any more stress with a retake. I hope it's clear enough to show how it works. I "really" hope this works!

Dentoid, Thanks for the directions! I didn't need to trap this fish at this time. I do have a feeling I'll have to when I start introducing more fish in the near future. I'm not very proud of the clip compard to others I see here. Is it clear that the trap works as predictcted?
