Trapping some Snappers....

[SamPAtrapper]

Well a guy that bought ducklings off me was telling me how he has a TON of snappers in his three ponds...and also a lot of muskrats. Though I have not looked really much for muskrat sign but I know there are a lot of turtles in them. They bite the ducks feet when they are in the water so he said GET THEM ALL...so I got permission to trap for muskrats and now snappers. Me and a buddy set out 5 jug lines last night....had 3 turtles on this morning...2 made it to shore. These guys are small but will still be getting done up. One is about 5lbs the other about 10lbs. There are some NICE ones in there...and we set out 5 more jug lines now we have 10 jugs working just the upper pond. Still haven't gotten to the lower 2 yet.
Will post some pics maybe in the morning.

Sounds like you are going to have fun Jugging them Snappers.I love eatting them turtles.Although they have to be bigger then that to be legal to keep.
