I have not used one. I have almost bought one though, a solar turtle trap. www.kens-fishfarm.com has them for $100.00. I have seen plans somewhere to build one from wood & chicken wire. Just a cage of some sort. It floats in the water & has a sunning ramp. The ramp allows the turtles to climb up. When they get to the right place on the ramp it dumps them in the cage. Empty the cage when you get a chance. Either a ride to another body of water or wack'em. You might be able to sell them. They bring a nice price so I have read at some local fish markets. Some turtles are protected. I have slowly caught mine with hook & line & gave them a new home. 300+ Lbs from a 3 acre pond. I am sure they were interfering with fish beds & reproduction. You could not throw a line with live bait & not catch a turtle. They also quickly arrived when you tried to feed the fish. The pond is now a much more pleasant place with them gone.
