Jug Fishing

[SkunkedAgain]

Crazy how when corn was illegal, it was what you wanted to use... Now it's legal, I think I've only tried it twice and didn't get a bite... Guess someone needs to teach me how to use it correctly so I can catch something on it...

Shane, that glowing jug sounds like a blast, too bad it's not legal... I'll bet the channels would be great at night... Maybe a set line with glowing floats at night would work legally too... Except for the part of tangled hooks wouldn't be fun to deal with in the dark...  Maybe only put a couple hooks on it instead of the full 25 and it could be a blast... later Jeff

Hey Jeff,
My Grandpa and I used to run a set line on UL and had a blast.
We used 10 dropper hooks and that was all we felt like dealing with.
We would deploy baited set line, anchor boat about 40-50 yrds away and Catfish with rod/reel for 5 or 6 hours, then pull in set line at end of day as ‘dessert’ for our trip.
Man, I miss my Grandpa.

Jeff, a note on corn. i use it a lot when bait fishing here in idaho. You run several pieces up the hook onto the line. Sometimes i have 2" or more.

Randy, thanks for your tips on the corn... Ya know the only place I have had success with corn was in Idaho.  We used to catch bluegill in Twin lakes by putting a single piece of corn on a salmon egg hook and drop it over the edge of the boat... We caught a bunch of fish that day...Later  Jeff
