I have never set lines for snapping turtles and would love to catch
some for some stew. A friend told me to buy large turtle hooks and
some bass boat anchor rope. The place i want to fish is a decent size
river bend with a depth of about six feet. I am thinking of tying off
on a decent size tree branch or trunk… my questions are really what is
the best set up for me to use, what materials to use, and what
techniques to use. Any comments, links or videos would be very help
full thanks.
