I have got a few made up so I might experiment with removing the blue clips.

As for best bait or attractant, I plan on using homebrand bread crumbs in an around the trap.

how do you plan on getting the fish out if the lid is glued down?

2 to 3 day old bread works best for in the trap, just break it into messy quarter pieces and put it in and soak it with water and just throw a piece in the water ontop of it to get a fish around to start off with and when they get in the trap they swirl the water around slowly realising more bread

Why all the science, just go to the warmies when the hot water is pumping and you scoop em up with a net
