re: what is the best way to catch snapping turtles

Nylon rope, 5 eye hook, chicken gizzard. Tie line to a stick. Push stick deep into mud, drop bait to the bottom. Wait two hours, check line.

I'm fishing in the most ridiculous places ever imagined. Can't give away all my secrets as to exactly where, but I guarantee there are snappers within a mile of your place in St. Amant.

Look for small spots of disgusting stagnant water.
