Fish TrapPush pins to hold it together. Top of bottle cut off Top 1/5th of bottle cut off, turned around and stuck in bottom. Holes cut in bottom of bottle. Fishing line to tie it to shore Catfish chow. Dog food will likely work, too. A bit of raw bacon or a chicken neck will catch crayfish.  More details here:

www.friday.com/bbum/2005/06/22/make-worlds-cheapest-fish-... World's cheapest fish trap. Made from a plastic soda bottle, a bit of fishing line, and a few push pins. Cat fish chow used as bait, but dog food or cat food would likely work just as well. Comments
huangpo says:Punching lots of holes in this would help it
sink faster. Try using a long nail held with
pliers heated with a flame. 
bloodbeard says:This is similar to the design my dad showed
me for catching minnows for bait. We also
used funnels screwed into the lid of a mayo
jar, but the same principle. I think it would
be illegal to catch game fish in Michigan
with one of these, at least on a public lake.
Anyway, one of these with a piece of bread
inside makes a cheap way to supply all the
live bait you'll need.
ronsta says:incredibly smart use of clear plastic. to
prevent fish from escaping, a clear plastic
door that only opens in one direction would
be awesome. i'm sure it could be done; i just
don't have the know-how. 
PhotoshopBob1564 says:Small fish can turn around but most will not
be able to get back out. The way the trap is
designed with the funnel like entrance.
shepshep2k7 says:Yh i remember this trap, i used to be a
little nipper ( im only 17 now lol ) when i
used to make traps that are exactly the same,
except we didnt use the pins to hold in the
neck of the trap. Me and my friend used to
catch fish mainly and in bit numbers, quiet
surprising howmany fish can fir in them
things
babyduckyparsons says:i think you should staple it together instead
of pushpinning it together.
