Great traps! I have heard of the Fishing Pole trap, but had not known what it was until now. On the last one though queen takes rook isn't mate because white can block with Bf1.

You might want to try rephrasing that. 
Nice traps. I have seen them all before, but it is usually a good idea to cement them in your mind! 
I've seen them all before too.
Great! I'll post some more sometime!

Whoops! Well, it's still pretty much game over after Queen takes pawn check, the same mate folowing.
It is ok to take the pawn with the knight in the Blackburne Shilling Gambit, you just can't hang on to it. But you do gain a nice attack, which is the point of the knight sacrifice.

Not as sound as you might think - if 5.Nb4? , then 5...d4! is a clear winner with a direct attack against the bishop, and discovering a double attack against the knight.
5. Bxf7+ is where it's at.

All of those are good, but you might want to get in some new ones like this.

3...d4 is what I've read, attacks the center and if exchanged, white cannot attack blacks queen with a tempo because c3 is blocked and his knight cannot move there. Breaks up white's attempt for a strong pawn center. Oh, sorry, no trap that I know of.
I saw the first opening on youtube, but the others are pretty good.
This is a blitz game that I played on scacchisti.it, that shows a trap very similar to the "fishing pole trap".
The 1st installment of a series of opening traps.
This 1st one arises for black in the King's Gambit. ( 1.e4 e5 2. c5)
