Anyone got any idea's about how to catch some snappers i live in Louisiana there are alligators everywhere and it scares the crap outa me because everytime people say i wont get bit but when i go down to the lake i see one everytime anyone got any ideas i have never seen a snapper by the shore or anything either if you know how to make a trap or anything email me thanks

Im willing to bet if you find some little kids that live in the area of a lake or river or something, and offer them 10 bucks. They will catch one for you....

Last weeks Photo contest winner. will you be next?

LOL you should meet the little kids around where i live they all think their older and stuck up for some reason like i go around all over the like i just cant seem to find an alli snapper nor a common anywhere like i go walk around everywhere go in the shallows and stuff but nothing i remember about a year ago i found a alli snapper in the middle of the road he had a hook stuck in his mouth from someone fishing then dumpped him so i took the hook out then moved him back near the lake he was to big for me to keep so i just wanted to at least make sure he was fine and maybe make me some babys later =) lol but thats about it now all i am thinkin of doing is making a trap

if you go down to the water im sure youll find some 8 year olds looking for stuff... you dont want to ask a kid thats 16....

haha i never see little kids around the lakes and lol im 17

Man you make big sentences.lol. I got dizzy on one of your posts. I would not worry about alligators, they are not after you or anything. The best way is to make a trap, just be sure that it is not fully submerged or it will kill the turtle, of course. by the way I am 17 also.

I live in edwardsville IL close to St. LOuis. I dont think its good to capture wild Aly snappers. I dont see to many turts. here i dont even see any boxies here. So good luck with what you guys do. TTYL
