How to catch snapping turtles in a pond.

I make lines with steel leaders then bait with chicken livers and throw it about 2-3ft off the bank. Use nylon string to tie off leader to something sturdy.

Ps. The chicken livers is only if your pond doesn't have catfish.

drain the pond and use a 22.

You can use one of my pumps, but I get to come and we split the meat.

I use just regular 3/0 or 4/0 trot line hooks. Yea I usually do it in shallow bayous with no catfish present.

If your pond has alot of catfish, you're probably better off trapping them

Turtle net. Get one. If you set it properly, it will catch every turtle in the pond.

I'll come help, I have never caught a turtle though.

Where ya at?

Good idea. I'm thinking shallow water and to use cut cats.

That keeps failing I will look into a net.

Good looking out.

I'm not out.

I'll bee there with bells on, a brick of 22's, a case of beer and a tank of diesel.

I'll stop what I'm doing to shoot turtles in a heartbeat.

When I was a kid there was a farm pond near my house that had a trap. I was a 55 gallon drum in the water with a hinged 2x6 attached to the top that angled down to the water outside the drum. The turtles would crawl up on the board to get some sun. The weight of the turtle would cause the board to tip down and drop them in the drum. You may have to add some weight on the bottom side 2x6 over the drum to make it tetter totter the turtle into the drum.
