We have done all of the trial and error work and figured out how to get the best results in several different deployment applications. Now it's your turn to prove to yourself just how easy it is by following some of the tips and advice below. Our traps are seriously one of the easiest, fastest, most economical ways for catching thousands of live baits year after year and time and time again. The investment in one of our models will save you hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars by not needing to buy as much dead bait as you have in the past.
How nice would it be to not worry about buying tons of dead bait over the course of a year, which can really get expensive? Buying dead bait and finding a way to keep it frozen at home without the wife smelling it, or even worse, how do I haul all of that dead bait home without making the truck smell like a fish factory?
Add up the time involved with going to the bait store every trip for frozen bait and wondering if it is fresh, will they have it, will the person at the bait store oversleep and waste more of my morning and you will see how much time and how much easier it is to do it yourself.
For all live baits such as pinfish, spot, porgy, sea bass, squirrel fish, grunts, croaker, perch and more, our live bait fish traps will do the trick very easily and effectively.
All live baits just mentioned are very aggressive baits and do not waste any time going into any one of our designs. After you've selected which live bait trap will suit your needs, your next step will be the location in which to place your pinfish traps. The most common live baits we'll be going after are Pinfish, Spots, and Squirrel Fish. Ideally, you'll want to place your live bait fish trap in proven areas that you've caught several by hook or have seen in large quantities schooled up.
In most cases you'll be placing your live bait trap in water that is between 4 and 12 feet in depth. If you are unsure of where to deploy your live bait trap, here are some pointers to help with identifying where your targeted bait may live.
If you see a large school of pinfish flashing in the sunlight while looking for a spot to deploy the trap, this would be a great place to deploy trap. If you know of any great trout flats, this is also where pinfish gather in large schools. Trout and pinfish use the same grass environment for feeding purposes, so putting traps where trout have gathered have always proven very productive. Additionally, deploying your trap around bridge pilings, structure and boat docks will produce good catches of pinfish.
Spots generally like the live bottom or rocky areas and usually gather up in very large schools. Spots when schooled up are most often considered a major nuisance when trying to fish with smaller baits like shrimp. On the other hand, when found the opportunity to find such large schools, write down the GPS coordinates or landmark for you've just found yourself a live bait gold mine. Spots tend to take up home in water depths of feet on specific rocky points, live bottom, and structure. Catching hundreds at one time of these prime looked for baits in these locations using the Commercial model trap is very likely.
The best way to target Squirrel fish is to place the trap in areas that you've caught by hook or simply test the trap in areas of patchy sand and grass in water depths of feet. Squirrel fish will not be seen in dense populations like Pinfish or Spots. Squirrel fish tend to be much more independent so catching large numbers of just Squirrel fish would be highly unlikely. One could expect an average of squirrel fish at a time in the right areas.
Baiting any one of our trap designs is one of the most important tips that is most often forgotten. The 1 choice for catching live baits that we have found is the more raw fish that is used, the better the results. Filling the trap up with an average of pounds of dead bait will always increase your quantity of live bait catches.
We recommend several whole Mullet cut up, left over old bait that you didn't use, cut in half Cigar Minnows, Sardines, Menhaden or Boston Mackerel or fish carcasses from cleaning the previous days catch.
The more fish oils and scent that come out of the trap and is released into the water, the better. Fish have an unbelievable sense of smell and the stronger that the bait scent is in the water, the farther the scent will travel, bringing large schools from other areas right into your trap. Additional methods that have proven effective include using cans of Jack Mackerel bought at your local grocery store or cans of cat food that contain high levels of fish oils.
For this application, use an old fashioned can opener and use the pointed side of the opener to make as many holes in the top and bottom of the cans as possible. When deploying your live bait trap, sink the long part of the baitfish trap in the direction of current flow. Live bait will enter the trap much easier swimming up or down current instead of entering the live bait trap in a side current.

When using fish instead of squid for bait, catch rates of sharks and rays were higher for seven of nine unwanted elasmobranch species, and lower for two species. Fish bait increased the incidence of deep-hooking injury in one of one unwanted species compared to squid bait.
In addition, wider circle hooks baited with fish bait caught more of three of four species and fewer of one of four species, compared to narrow hooks of all designs. The study performed a meta-analysis of 41 studies globally on the effects of different hook and bait types in pelagic longline fisheries on unwanted elasmobranch catch rates, survival and deep-hooking injury see original paper for full search methods.
The average length of hooked fish was greater with larger bait size than smaller bait for: cod Gadus morhua large: 55—72 cm, small: 46—70 , haddock Melanogrammus aeglefinus large: 47—53 cm, small: 45—52, , tusk Brosme brosme large: 47 cm, small: 43 cm , ling Molva molva large: 65 cm, small: 63 cm and wolffish Anarhichas lupus large: 48—64 cm, small: 45 cm.
Six fishing trials were conducted from commercial longliners between November and December five trials off the northwest coast of Iceland, one trial off the southwest at depths of 50— m. Hooked fish were recorded and their lengths measured. In the first trial testing mackerel Scomber australasicus and squid Nototodarus sloanii baits, there was no significant difference in the amount of unwanted fish catch between baits mackerel: 0.
In the second trial, unwanted fish catch again was similar using barracouta Thyrsites atun bait 3. Bait species were tested in two trials on grounds fished for New Zealand scampi Metanephrops challengeri.
In April at Cape Palliser, 46 traps baited with squid and 45 with barracoota were deployed. Four types of traps were used, equal numbers baited with each bait species. All traps were deployed on the seabed and left for 18 hours before retrieval. All unwanted catch was identified and counted. Taylor, N. Synopses of Conservation Evidence Series.

Ideally we would like all submitted evidence to have been published in peer-reviewed literature. However, we do welcome evidence of any nature. Please be aware that given the volume of work we have we cannot guarantee a response to every submission. This score is based on the direction and size of the effects reported in each study.
There is some variation between actions, e. The effectiveness score does not consider the quantity or quality of studies; a single, poorly designed study could generate a high effectiveness score. How certain can we be that the effectiveness score applies to all targets of the intervention e. This score is based on the number, quality and coverage species, habitats, geographical locations of studies. Actions with high scores are supported by lots of well-designed studies with a broad coverage relative to the scope of the intervention.
However, the definition of "lots" and "well-designed" will vary between interventions and synopses depending on the breadth of the subject. The overall effectiveness category is determined using effectiveness, certainty and harms scores generated by a structured assessment process with multiple rounds of anonymous scoring and commenting a modified Delphi method.
In this assessment, independent subject experts listed for each synopsis interpret the summarized evidence using standardised instructions. What Works in Conservation provides expert assessments of the effectiveness of actions, based on summarised evidence, in synopses. Subjects covered so far include amphibians, birds, mammals, forests, peatland and control of freshwater invasive species.

Background information and definitions Some static non-mobile fishing gears typically attract fish using bait, as opposed to mobile gears that move through the water column to capture fish, or other static gears that passively allow fish to swim into the gear.
Study locations. Key messages Eleven studies examined the effects of using different bait on marine fish populations. Two other studies found no reduction in unwanted catches of pelagic stingray and overall unwanted fish with different bait types.
