Turtles

Hoop nets are by far the easiest way to catch them. I use fresh carp and a piece of liver. Place while still frozen bait as the water warms and sours it fast. If it was close I would help you out.
 
If any of these ponds are within an hour of Ankeny or decorah, my dad and I will come and catch as many as you want out. Love sitting with the old man, drinking a few beers, catching turtles.
 
My dad used the liver too. If I remember right he'd lay it out in the sun for a couple hrs to get that nice rotting smell.

Any issues accidentally catching bass with jugging ,using gills,or meat chunks?

I usually tend to catch a couple bass off cut gils. Actually this weekend I caught 2 nice bass while catfish a pond on cut gills. I don't really think you can avoid it.
