Outdoor Water Solutions Pond Fish Trap

This trap is specifically optimized for smaller species like perch, minnows, and various baitfish. Its mesh size is calibrated to capture these smaller fish while allowing larger, non-target species to swim freely.

The trap is built from 16-gauge galvanized steel, which provides significant structural rigidity. The galvanized coating is specifically applied to resist rust and corrosion, ensuring it holds up well even when submerged for extended periods.

The cone adapters allow you to customize the entry point size—1, 2, or 3 inches—depending on the specific size of the baitfish you are targeting. This helps you refine your catch and prevents larger, unwanted fish from entering the trap.

Yes, the double-funnel design creates a more effective trap by guiding fish into the center of the cage while making it difficult for them to find the exit. It is a standard, highly effective configuration for keeping baitfish contained once they enter.

You can use basic attractants like bread, dry cat food, or commercial fish pellets placed inside the trap. Since the trap relies on the fish's natural foraging behavior, simple, scent-heavy bait usually works best.
