Catching Turtles!

[AlexZDEFAZIO]

Yeah! I love catch turtles. I've never seen an soft shells yet, but I really want to catch one. I live in NJ, any advice on how and where to catch an eastern spiny soft shell?

@AlexZDEFAZIO - I would check the Maurice River. Also google reptiles and amphibians of NJ.  I think there's a pretty cheap version of that guide that would probably be a great resource for you.

@smetlogik Thanks for the advice!
