To any turtle trappers I have a question. I purchased 4 hoop nets that need coating.. I am having no luck in finding a coating or dip for them.
I could use some guidance.

What’s wrong with a milk jug, some line, hook and bait? It’s the only way I’ve ever seen it done.
Gotcha, I’ve never done any of it or seen anyone do it in years. Maybe they didn’t have size limits then or the guys didn’t care.There's a size limit. I would think the hook and line method would make releasing the undersized turtles more problematic. All the serious turtle trappers I know use hoop nets and box style traps.

Here is some in black and green also. Keep us updated with your trapping. I'd love to see some pics of how you set them and any catches.
