Older gentleman told me the other day to hang the smaller hoop nets (which you have) mouth down from a branch or so. He said you don't even have to bait it. "Catfish think it is a log or something and swim up in it". Also, he said cheese is the best for catfish, and the cotton seed cake works best on scale fish.

I have heard that buy keeping a small part of the back of the net out of the water, like 5 inches, it gives the turtles room to breathe and they won't die as fast in the nets.


The only problem is this is also how people discover your nets and run em for you.

That's what my dad said too, was to hang them straight down, but I thought he was crazy.

Guess I should have listened to my old man.

Again, I appreciate all the info I can get.
