It is simple to make a trap from chicken wire that will catch plenty of blue gills.
Make a wire tube about 2 ft in diameter x 3 to 4 ft long with the wire. You can get d rings and a simple tool at a hard ware store cheap.Then make a funnel from the wire. One end should be the same size as the tube you have made. The other should have an opening 3 to 4 inches.Place this small end first into the wire tube. Posistion it so the small opening is in the center of the tube and clip it in place. Using 150 test line fold the other end flat and sew it closed. Leave the line so you can untie it to take out the fish.You should wind up with a wire basket flatened on one end and a funnel on the other.Bait it with dry dog food in an onion sack or mesh bag.Take it to the pond and place it in 3 to 4 ft of water. this will catch all kinds of fish. Control the size of the fish with the size of the funnel hole. send me a fax no. and I will fax you a plan. No charge
This is illegal to use in some public waters.Cost of each trap is about 3 dollars.
