My buddies pond is being pumped out and he is filling it in well stocked it a while back with all sorts of turtles. Well now that he is covering it we are catching and selling his massive collection of turtles in his 1 acre pond. Well many of them are spiny softshells. Believe it or not they wont eat when offered turtle sticks and what not but they will eat liver gets the water cloudy but they will not resist hope that helps.
