    i dont know what state you are fishing in but where i live there are things in the creeks and rivers here called go devils. i think their actually called helgamites but anyway, they are in the moss on rocks in a lot of rivers and creeks. you can collect them using a seine and a metal rake-just rake the moss and hold the net flush with the creek or river bottom and you will find some. they look like little aliens with nasty looking pinchers but they don’t hurt too bad when they get hold of you. i have caught multiple flatheads and not a single turtle on 1 go devil. happy fishing!

    No guarantee,but I have NEVER caught a turtle on liver!I personally use Rooster Liver,Chicken works fine but it can fall off when you cast!Rooster Liver is very tough and wont fall off.Use a circle hook!
