Saw a large turtle in the big pond 2 weeks ago and finally put in the trap last Thursday with two Gwaltney hotdogs as the bait.  This trap works really well for turtles as you can submerge most of it, and two sides open wide to let a big turtle get in.  When I got there today, lo and behold the trap was sprung and a big snapper was in it.  I called Jerry, a local mason, and he agreed to stop by and pick it up, evidently he makes a mean turtle soup, says they are very tasty!

Thats a big snapper, they just can’t resist Gwaltney hotdogs
