Turtle time - 06/15/22 02:55 PM
That time of the year. Go offa work didn't get my boots off before I had a text saying they need turtles gone since they just stocked some fish.
Well lazy me hasn't been caring for nets probably and just about all but one has been dry rotted. So it's gonna be alot of needle work on my day off
But on the bright side I had some forsight to make some bait cages the other night and pick up bait so had that going for me .
But yeah got the one good one out in the water and decided to sit around and just watch since the pond was so small due to low water . Less then 30min I come back and there a small snapper , 10 maybe 15 lbs surfacing net to the net and trying to get in so hopefully by the time I go back to check it before work tonight I'll have him and a few others
Will say though 2x the number of small turtles in these ponds son in gonna have to order some netting and make some special traps just for them. They have a second pond I'm 90% sure is gonna be full of stink pots and small sliders
