[@theunknownknowsBYvoivod]

It doesn't matter. You can catch turtles on any live bait. I've caught them on chicken meat, gizzards, livers. Hot dogs, worms, bacon, shrimp. Turtles LOVE baitfish and shrimp to a lesser degree. You can even use frozen saltwater baitfish or cut bait on freshwater turtles. They like cold salty fish. I don't know why. Btw I have NEVER fished for turtles. They were always by-catch.
