I REGULARLY see folks using the the noodles for catfishing on KY lake. I see them consistently in The pays across from Moores.

If you do use the jugs to fish, be sure you mark them correctly and check them regularly. I hear it is a great way to fish.

BEING the nosy sum beotch that I am, I have checked a few in the past, and they always have fish on them. I don't know what they use for bait. Cut Bait, liver, who knows.

I hope this helps.

With regards to Crappie. I also see guys fishing crappie in Sugar and Smith Bay quite a bit. Not too sure myself, but I suspect if you brought some minners and soaked them under a bobber around the brush piles in Sugar you'd do just fine.

I hope this helps.

Later,
