Turtles?
 

Does anybody here trap turtles?

RE: Turtles?
 

No but i saw a turtle dead on the side of the road the other day.... never seen a road killed turtle so far from water....

RE: Turtles?
 

not all turtles are close to water AH;)

RE: Turtles?
 

I know that but he was def. out of place where we saw him. I almost wonder if someone had him as a pet and dropped him off. He was pretty big as well, felt bad for him

RE: Turtles?
 

Not on purpose [8D] What would you use it for? And what is your purpose in trapping them? I honestly don't see any use in killing them. They eat things that annoy me.

RE: Turtles?
 

I catch them on jug lines and in hoop nets. Snapping turtle or softshell turtle sauce piquante is very good.

RE: Turtles?
 

i set out bank poles for snappers turtle soup is very good also

RE: Turtles?
 

oh ya we shoot the hell outta the snappers when we see em

RE: Turtles?
 

Lmao! Agreed.

RE: Turtles?
 

Well they certainly havent eaten any of the things that annoy me, your still here :eek: :D[8D]

RE: Turtles?
 

ZING!

RE: Turtles?
 

Well i was asking because i caught one 2 days ago when i was catfishing, and after i made this thread i set out some traps. And i caught another one today. Pictures later, can anyone say TURTLE SOUP? :D

RE: Turtles?
 

Turtle Soup, i can say it quite well. Turtle Soup, Turtle Soup, Turtle Soup:D

RE: Turtles?

i have had mock turtle soup b4

RE: Turtles?
 

If it's Mock then it wasn't real.....

RE: Turtles?
 

I have trapped them a couple times.... just take a jug and tie your wire to it...then it floats around...I like it better than hooking it to the bank haha. Also I've caught a few by hand. One almost killed me....it was like the lochness turtle.... yikes...

RE: Turtles?
 

No one will believe you unless you tell us the story behind this!!!:D

RE: Turtles?
 

I still wouldn't believe him :D

RE: Turtles?
 

i know i just had to say somethng about this topic:)

RE: Turtles?
 

Softshell turtles are also very good as well as the regular yellow belly turtles. The latter are really a pain to clean though.

RE: Turtles?
 

I have yet to catch a softshell turtle

RE: Turtles?
 

The softshells are mostly in rivers. The Great Miami is full of them.

RE: Turtles?
 

best way to catch em is with a 22right in the head but if ya can't use one we sit in ponds and wait for m to come up for air and the throw a live worm right on top of m and real m up to them boat the use a frog gig just hit'm in the head and then there over wit and throw m bk into the pond

RE: Turtles?
 

man you live in dayton?

i never seen turtles in great miami

RE: Turtles?
 

I live just north of Dayton in Harrison Township. I am close to the intersection of I-70 and I-75. The Great Miami is full of softshells up here. We even catch them on rod and reel while fishing for catfish. I have caught some big snappers as well, but that is usually later in the summer..

RE: Turtles?
