    Default North Tampa


    Went with my brother to north Tampa Lake Magdalene. Bite wasn't great but we managed 12 nice ones. He kept 5 and I took pics of other 7. Couple of them had large roe. Bite was very subtle spider rigging. You had to watch the rod tip for any movement and set the hook. Was fun anyhow.Name: 2016 12 28_0163.jpg Views: 420 Size: 82.8 KBName: 2016 12 28_0162.jpg Views: 447 Size: 81.4 KBName: 2016 12 28_0164.jpg Views: 411 Size: 56.6 KBName: 2016 12 28_0165.jpg Views: 496 Size: 51.9 KB I had to break off a softshell turtle and tied on a white 1/16 oz jig head with no plastic or feathers just jighead and minnow, caught about 5 in a row on that. Life is like a box of chocolates.

    Mike, he was not hooked in the mouth, so couldn't stretch his neck to grab. Too small anyway. They are good though.

    When I was a younger man my father would take my brother and I turtle fishing. The trick to getting them in the boat is grabbing them by the short tail they have, hard shell turtles have a longer tail. They are great eating , cut the heads off bleed them out and cut shell off . Skin the rest of the meat a soak in buttermilk. Simmer on low in cast iron skillet . Meat falls of the bone. Yum yum .
