I am trying to use a minnow trap in my slip as you can always see minnows swimming there late in the afternoon and at night when you turn the lights on.

I tried suspending just under the surface of the water, with bread in the trap and suspending it about two feet under the water, again with bread in the trap.

I have not caught a single minnow to date.

Should I place the minnow trap at the bottom or near the bottom of the water? The slip is 10.5' deep.
