Question for the experienced turtle fisherman:
What nets have you had the best experience with?
Is there a particular size you've found to be more productive?

Eric left me some of his turtle nets a few years back wanting me to catch him so turtles. I ran them sucker for two weeks in the shop and never caught a turtle. So I am not experienced enough to know what traps works best. Dewayne on the other hand is and expert. We don't know at what, but he is and expert. |

Any net will catch turtles. I use 30" round and d-nets with flat throats and 1 1/2" mesh.
They real key to catching turtles is fresh bait where the turtles are feeding.

Lol, must not have been using the right urban turtle bait. My son says pizza is probably the best. Maybe he's watched too much Ninja Turtles. |

Eric, I tried to call you a few weeks ago. Had a guy hammering the turtles looking to sell. Had hundreds. Think he's finished now. Was catching them out of the crawfish ponds to keep them off the cages.
