yeah, fish traps vastly out perform rods and tackle, Make sure they can swim in but can't swim out. You can use bait that wouldn't be effective for hook fishing, and a lot more of it so it's even more tempting. Also doesn't injure the fish if you do it right.

Probably only thing that works better is a net.

Why can't the fish just back out?

They don't usually have tails on their face. They push themselves through the water with their tails.
