Can you lend me your fish trap...or build me one
 
Need to catch some fishes so if you have one I can borrow please let me know. I can give you frags for your trouble. Or better yet, if you can build me one out of acrylic (5x6x7"), please let me know. Frags or $$ for trade.

i stumbled upon a fishtrap by accident but it works. i used a clear plastic bowl with sawran wrap on it with a slit cut down the center of the wrap...and an elastic band to keep the wrap on. don't forget to bait it! good luck.

Just get a critter keeper and rig it up with some fishing line.

If you're talking about these ones http://www.reptilecity.com/Merchant2...ry_Code=HCF500
how would you go about creating the "giletine" door? I am assuming that's most effective design. Please explain.

I got the idea from esmithiii on rdo, but the pic isn't up there anymore. Basically, you set the thing on end so the small plastic door opens upwards. A hole is drilled on the door, to which fishing line is attached. You then incorporate a small rock that holds this door up, until you pull the line, rock falls, door closes. I've caught three at a time with that thing. My plastic door is broken now, or I'd let you just use it.
