Turtles

haven't heard any discussion this year.. I'm having a slow year no turtles yet but haven't set much. Eyes are you doing any good? Would like to see some pics!

i havent even been out Eman.  I took a job working out of state 5 days a week.  I am only home on the weekends.  I know there are some in my spots but they are tough to get to because of all this rain.  I should have a 2 week break coming up soon and i will land some on shore

4 so far this year.  Definitely more luck last week with the warm weather.
 
 

 

 

Anybody wanna share some of their catch? It's 20-something a pound everywhere I look, SO...

 

 

 
 
 
 

There are so many snappers at Moraine State Park that spot burning shouldn't be an issue, but still, one never knows. Andyh01, those are really nice specimens! What are their weights? The ones in the bottom two pictures look like they're big. I know they're not, but they remind me of Alligator Snappers. Good job and congrats on a fine catch! ! ! McGinnis Sisters sells turtle soup at a fair price and it's very good.

bcain

Holy cow. There is no way I could eat turtle soup. I don't know how you guys do it.

?????? I don't know why not bcain. The meat is soft and has a unique taste, not gamey. Is it a texture thing, is it because you know it's a turtle and they're not generally considered common table fare amongst the greater % of the population and as such you consider it gross or.....? Just curious as to why "there is no way" you could eat turtle soup.

ive eaten it, its yummy.  i could never clean one because how awful they smell

I have and will try just about anything other than things that may be dangerous and reproductive organs (not about to eat mountain oysters). I hate sushi. I have tried frog legs and they are good but, probably wont be eating them any time soon. I probably would try turtle if someone actually handed me a piece that was already cooked. I even quit hunting years ago because I am not a fan of anything that you can hunt with the exception of a few game birds. Pheasant, grouse. turkey and duck I like. In my opinion, nothing is better than Walleye.

too many people there lol you wont have any lines left

I can understand not wanting to eat anything that isn't considered the norm in any particular society and also understand not liking something that isn't the norm in a culture. Vegamite for instance. I've never had it and would try it. From what I've heard, unless you're Australian, you probably wouldn't like it. Peanut butter taste nasty to an informal taste test done in Japan. They hated it. I do eat turtle soup and frog legs. I'll harvest the frog's myself, but not turtles only because I enjoy them as pets. I love sushi, sashimi and also raw shellfish. I'd try mountain oysters, but don't tell me that first, lol! As a matter of fact, I don't want to know what anything is until I've swallowed it. Didn't know that about the wasabi Luvinbluegills, THANKS!
