Smelt/minnow net in Minot??

[DareDevilDave]

I get my minnows from a flowing spring at a gravel pit all winter long and im tired of my trap growing legs. If I had a smelt net with a 5ft or so long handle I'd be able to scoop and go with out messing with a trap. I see their on the internet but curious if minot stores have them because I looked in scheels but no luck. Thanks

Put your name on your net and a trail camera? Thief’s are the lowest of the low human beings in my opinion. I bet you would gladly give them enough minnows to fish the entire winter.. no need to steal. This breaks my heart

Or just take what they need which would be fine!

Just make a handle out of a stair railing. Would be easy to do. Just be smarter than the net.

You might be able to tie your trap line to a weight or railroad spike or something and throw the retrieval line offshore a bit and then when you come to get minnows, bring a rod or something like that to snag the line and drag in it. Essentially use a standard trap but make it so you cant retrieve it from shore without a tool of some sort and hopefully not even be able to see it from shore. People are less likely to wade in for a trap than they are to just steal it without getting wet, even if they can see it.

walmart sometimes has some finer mesh dipnets in the fishing department
