yep that's right Turtle fishing,
I know you all may have wondered a time or two what I do when we have no ice, Well, to tell you the truth, I spend a lot of time praying for ice. and a little turtle fishing, Here in Michigan we have 2 months of turtle season. we are allotted 2 common snappers and 2 soft shell snappers per season. and yes I catch both, but seldom target the soft shells any more because I am not interested in catching something I cant eat.
not every one knows a lot about turtle fishing, and ever fewer than that will take up the great sport of turtle fishing because it requires a lot of time and patients.
true a few people will hunt them on land, I will too if the opportunity presents it self, I found I have more luck fishing for them in the water. and yes I release all I catch except
If you would like to see what I have done so far this year you can take a peek of this years album to see some mighty fine turtle fishing.
