[AT] Some ads from the 8/12 Lancaster Farming

[Larry D. Goss]

I think my BIL still sells snappers to a local restaurant in eastern
Ohio on occasion.  Fishing for them is simple -- one dead fish on a
treble hook tied to an empty milk jug with steel leader.  If the milk
jug changes its position, you have a snapper.  The last I knew, he was
getting $10 each.

What do you suppose the story is on the Boa Constrictor?

Mike -

"Snapper Soup" was popular for generations (and still is in some areas)
but 
when the same contaminant testing done on various fish species was done
on 
snapping turtles, tests revealed soaring levels of mercury and PCBs due
to 
the species longevity and tendency of lying and hibernating in the 
contaminated silt and mud on the bottom. Prepared properly, the soup is,

indeed delicious, but I certainly wouldn't eat it more often than maybe
once 
or twice a year.

As far as buying one ...??? When/If I wanted one, I'd just go catch it.
All 
that's needed is a dead fish for bait and a snapper in the area.
