Field Expedient Fish Trap

This is a field expedient fish and crawfish trap that you can make with 2 liter coke bottles. Once you understand the general concept, you can make several different versions. In a survival situation, if you had about a dozen of these along a creek or river, you could easily feed yourself. I hear that fishheads make the best bait.

you really want your dinner to be dining on "rancid" meat?

[TrackerMedic]

@2bornot2b1984 - Have you ever eaten fish? crabs?

[2bornot2b1984]

@TrackerMedic

Most fish doesn't eat "rancid" meat. Most fish eat other live fish.

As for crab, no I don't eat it.

I know a lady who's job is to test water quality working for a company who had a paper mill on a bay.

The way they test the quality of the bay is by catching clams and crabs etc. and testing the meat inside them. They don't even test the water directly, instead the test the "filter feeders".

This lady will no longer eat any shellfish or bottom feeder of any kind from any where.

@2bornot2b1984 - What do catfish eat? cod? - And crab is awesome. You're missing out. It's so awesome, men give their lives for it! (Deadliest Catch?) Mmmm. Bottom feeders. Yum.
