I had never heard of jug fishing until today. I read a news article about a 15 year old girl who caught a 100 pound blue cat in a creek near the Ohio River here in Ohio. My dad fished Lake Erie and a few lakes in Ontario, Canada for Pike, Blue Gill, Rock Bass, etc. He wouldn't have thought a catfish was worth the trouble. lol 😂

Hey I'm glad I found your channel I'm an okie also. And yes Ft. Cobb is known for the big blues and flatheads. That was cool watching the kids

Believe it or not ivory soap works great for catfish bait. Get a cheese slicer or something with a really thin blade or wire and just cut it into cubes. We use it for jug lines and trotlines. For limb lines we always use live bait small brim mostly. I like changing it up from time to time trying different types of bait. Whats some different bait everyone uses?

Here’s a tip.

Use those trotline clips to attach your upper hooks.
If you get a really big fish, you want to remove those extra hooks instead of having them potentially pull through your hands while you fight the monster on the bottom.

If you didn’t think about that when setting them out, don’t be shy about cutting those extra hooks.

The last things you want is a big cat on one hook, the other hook in your hand, and then fall overboard.

How come you let the 1st one go, is it a law they can't be to big. I curious

[terrymcguire]

I've never seen anyone weight a jug down. Here on the Mississippi and TN rivers, we let them float with the current .

[weyoungstrom]

A 12-hour soak that's I went out into 5 to 7 ft. Of water I don't know. It took me half an hour to drop 24 jugs and as soon as I finish dropping them I went and started checking and I already had seven catfish on... I repeated this process for 2 hours and took home something like 25 or 30. Catfish.

What is the name of the special clips?

[scottlytton]

Boone boys, ive never jug fished but now i want to make me a few jugs but im curious as to why arent the jugs tied like a trot line. I mean dont the fish swim away with them? Thats the part thats stil confusing me.

[JusticeServed]

Hear those kids??! That’s what it’s all about!

[yalltrippin]

It looks like the weight is too short to hit the bottom and “anchor” it. So does the weight keep it from drifting halfway across the lake? Sorry if it’s a dumb question I got my first boat a few months ago and my dad loves catfishing, so I’ve been wanting to get out and set some jugs with him

[Todicus]

Is there a video showing how you made the jugs?

[gary]

So put enough string on to match the depth of the lake. Then tie the jug with all the extra string still on the float when you set it out.

I don’t see a problem with this plan at all.

Are you concerned about other boaters running over the jugs?
