Eben:

Got a large rectangular minnow trap from Cabella's (I think about $35) and expanded the entrance slightly. A couple of people recommended baiting it with inexpensive cat food, leaving the food in the can and drilling it full of holes. I only tried it one night in the New Harbor with no success.

However, a friend tells me that in the inner ponds her kids can't avoid catching eels in their minnow traps. Unfortunately, the fishing season ended abruptly before I had a chance to try. Sounds promising though.

Good Luck!
