First of all, choose a good time and place. During the day, the weather is very hot and the water temperature is very high, so turtles like to stay in very cool places and usually wait until six or seven o'clock in the evening to go out for activities, so the best time to catch turtles is before nine o'clock in the morning or after six o'clock in the evening. When choosing a place, it is best to choose a place where the water is not very deep, such as rivers or shallows, where turtles often appear.

The second is to do a good job. Grass carp is a vegetarian, while soft-shelled turtle only eats meat bait instead of vegetarian bait. So when making a nest, you can choose to use the internal organs of domestic animals or dead loaches, frogs and the like. It is best not to choose fresh bait. Before making a nest, you can seal the bait. The heavier the smell, the better the effect. Then put these baits in the water and on the shore and fish with these meat baits.

If the tortoise is hooked, don't hurry to lift the pole, because the tortoise's claws will firmly grasp the ground, so it is difficult to lift the tortoise directly. You can prepare a small iron fist in advance. After the tortoise takes the bait, it slides the hoop from the pole to the hook, and then lifts the pole conveniently, so the tortoise can catch it easily.

Yi Shi hook, special hook or turtle needle can be used for turtle fishing. Yi Shi hook is a kind of hook that can be used when fishing common fish species, and it can also be used when fishing soft-shelled turtle, but the model should be larger and the hook tip should be outward. The second kind is specialized in turtle fishing, with hooks on both sides. The turtle will open automatically after biting the hook, so it should not escape. Can be used with steel wire. Finally, the turtle needle, when used, hangs the bait on the upper part and the turtle will bite the hook from the lower part.

Generally speaking, this kind of hook can only use steel wire. In addition, you can also fish turtles with turtle needles or sewing machine needles. Moreover, you can also hang some bait on it and put it on directly.
