Thanks Bill! In Pa. it is similar. Either a 4 x 4 net or trap with 1 inch entrance holes. I almost never see fishermen collecting bait for fresh water fishing.???? I always enjoyed catching minnows with Dad as a kid and still do today. ( Fifty + years later) To me it is a great learning experience and some of the best most natural bait there is to use. I guess when I catch bait that means I will be going fishing in the near future!Also perhaps I am a little cheap? I do try to support the bait shops also!
