i grew up in east texas on lake livingston and lots and lots of water turkeys ate my trotline bait which had hooks in them......
these were on the trot lines that i ran 24 inches under the surface to catch blue cats in the early morning chasing shad.
i forgot one on the beach one day with some hooks still baited and when i returned had 2 more caught on dry land....
so dont leave any trotlines/throwlines around your pond or you may hurt a water turkey.
