How to Catch a Snapping Turtle in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Just fish at night, easy. Snapping turtles aren't that hard to find if you fish in the rivers after 9 PM. Don't overthink it.

Catching a snapping turtle in ACNH is actually pretty cool! First, make sure you're fishing during the right time: they appear from 9 PM to 4 AM from April to October. So, grab your fishing rod, head to the river (yep, they're river dwellers), and look for a large fish shadow. No bait necessary, but patience is key. Happy fishing!
Honestly, I spent hours trying to catch one because I thought it would be super rare, but it turns out timing is everything. Once I started fishing between 9 PM and 4 AM in the rivers, I caught a snapping turtle on my third try. So, make sure your timing is right, and don't give up!
