Terrapins

Guys,

I recently discovered the dams on our property contain barbel.

Have caught a couple up to about 5KGs, there are bigger though.

The issue we are having is when fishing with meat(raw chicken or boerwors), terrapins are taking the bait.

These terrapins swallow the bait and we are not able to remove the hooks so we cut the line.

Does anyone have advise on how to keep the terrapins away from the bait?

You could try change your bait but they will find it and it will be an ongoing issue. If you remove them, they will find their way back.

Perhaps try with circle hooks so you can at least unhook them. Good luck ::tight:
