season starts in two days. the rains have the creeks way up on the banks and the water temps are much cooler than normal in the ponds. i would like the water temps to be warmer. the bait spoils faster true but the turtles are also feeding heavier. hows everyone else doing out there across the nation. anyone selling turtles? live to the turtle farms or perhaps the meat market? just wondering if newts prediction of lower prices is still holding true?

regardless there will be nets set. good trappers trap regardless of prices. i assume turtle trappers and fishermen are both the same.

Don't know. I fed him to the squash bugs on the zucchini. He is gone now. Either devoured without a trace or run for his life.

Hey mouse, we've got our new 'Magnum' size bait bags made for this season !

( I should mention, I normally use ones half that size. )

Yes. We were getting $1.50 per pound for snappers, $1.30 for soft shells and .20 for red ears. The biggest buyer in texas got into some trouble now he doesnt buy anymore. I cant find anybody that buys them in texas so I just gave up on turtle trapping.

Galvanized, I think. It's leaf gutter guard !
Double the length, bend and ring it together with rings like you use to build a fox pen with.
One end stays open. Easy to bait, empty, clean and rebait.
No turtle will destroy that...


jdw, can you sell outside the state ?
Have you considered it ?

You'll be happy with the results, trapperand.
Here is the normal size I use.
The larger ones are for certain situations not every day use.

I have considered but we are limited to just private ponds and lakes here in texas and 95% of what we catch in them are red ears. Would have to have a few thousand pounds of snappers to make it worth toting a trailer full of turtles out of state.
