i trap all of my bait. The way i catch mine is about as standered as it gets lol
for chubs/fish i just take a small hook (#10) with a worm we got tons and tons of creek chubs. you can catch a ton in a hurry!
for crayfish i either net them out, or catch them with my hands if i have time. if not, i'll just make a couple real simple crayfish traps and catch them that way

Its kinda hard to explain. There's two methods I use. You can take a sheet of metal put bait on it and fold it tight so there's just a slight crack to let leeches in. Or you could take an ice cream bucket put some bait in it and a weight in it to. Tie the lid down tight. Then lift the sides of the lid and put some sort of wedge to keep them up. And make it so its just big enough to let leeches in. Remember to tie them well. Then go set them in a muddy part of a lake or pond.
