eric space trapper E Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 1,181 wantage n.j.	in 2013 I caught this snapper, took a picture and released her. I have posted her picture on here before. Today I caught her again about 2 miles away from where she was caught and released 9 years ago. Doesn't look like she got any bigger. First pic is from 2013 other 2 are from today. It's the after effect of plastic beer can holders!! Of course I released her again, in a waterway far as I could get from a highway.

I haven't even set a turtle trap in maybe 10 years. Might have to limber one up and set it for a week or so. Jeez Roy, based on the photo of bluegills you showed a day or so ago, you have plenty of turtle bait! Last edited by J.Morse; 08/20/22 07:42 PM.

I'm not a big time guy, I just catch enough to eat for a spell. I owe my success to Eric Space. He took the time, a lot of time, and shared his knowledge with me. Thanks Eric!! Also, I got some traps from Beaverfoot and he not only makes great traps but also is great after the sale. Thanks to Dave too! I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....
