Terapin problem

« on: March 17, 2012, 07:08:27 AM »

Early season, every year, I have the same problem.
Turtles, stealing my bate, it gets so bad, after 3 or 4 lifts
3/4 of my traps are bateless.
I've tried double tieing, springs, cable ties, threading the tieline
through the spine, and various combinations of the above, with no success.
Would appreciate any suggestions
Thanks
JB

Try using snoods, or try moving your spot. Wink
