How to Make a Poddy Mullet Trap
- 1). Use the kitchen knife to cut roughly one inch below where the funnel part of the bottle opening expands out to the same circumference as the rest of the bottle.
- 2). Push the knife through the "body" of the bottle to make several slits that will allow for water circulation while the trap is holding caught mullet. If the fish are trapped and do not have adequate circulation, they could die from lack of oxygenated water.
- 3). Tie one end of the twine to the bottle by pushing it through one of the slits that were made by the knife and out through another. Make sure that the twine is knotted well, or it could come undone while pulling the trap in.
- 4). Flip the top of the bottle upside down and place it inside of the main part of the bottle. It should look like a funnel leading to the interior of the the bottle. This inverted bottle top will allow for the mullet to swim into the bottle but because it is not a smooth line leading out, they will have problems getting free.
- 5). Attach the two pieces of bottle together using duct tape. Place several pieces around where the funnel shaped, top part of the bottle sits inside the bottle's "body."
- 6). Tear a piece of bread into small pieces and place the pieces inside the bottle. This is the bait for the mullet.
