Plastic Bottle Fishing Trap
How to make the Fish Trap
- With a Sharp Knife, cut off the top of the pop bottle. As shown above.
- Shove the head of the bottle into the body of the bottle.
- You can put a couple small scraps of bait or small insects in the bottle to attract small fish.
- Place the bottle into the shallow water. (you can hold it in place with some small river rocks or mud.
- Once the fish swim in they won’t be able to swim back out.

Interesting idea. It might be worth experimenting with bottles that have somewhat larger mouths, like juice bottles. Of course, they need to be shaped in such a way that the cut off top will fit neatly into the rest of the bottle, as with the pop bottle.
